Power Topology Profile
14 Version 1.0.0a
7.1.1 Representing an Internal Power Domain
There shall be exactly one instance of CIM_AdminDomain for each internal power domain in the system.
The instance of CIM_AdminDomain shall be implemented as defined in 10.1.
The instance of CIM_AdminDomain shall be associated with the Scoping Instance through the
CIM_SystemComponent association, where the value of GroupComponent reference is the Scoping
Instance, and the value of the PartComponent reference is the CIM_AdminDomain instance.
7.1.2 Power Supplies in Internal Domain
Each power supply that provides power to the internal power domain shall be associated with the
CIM_AdminDomain instance through the CIM_SuppliesPower association. If more than one power
supply is able to supply power to the domain, all the power supplies shall form a single power supply
redundancy. Thus if instances of CIM_PowerSupply are associated to the particular CIM_AdminDomain
through CIM_SuppliesPower association, these instances of CIM_PowerSupply shall be also associated
to an instance of CIM_RedundancySet through CIM_MemberOfCollections. The CIM_RedundancySet
instance shall not be associated to any other CIM_PowerSupply instance.
7.1.3 Representing Components in an Internal Power Domain
A component is considered to be in a power domain if it receives power from a power supply in the
domain. Each instance of a sub-class of CIM_ManagedSystemElement that represents a component in a
power domain shall be associated with the CIM_AdminDomain instance representing the domain through
the CIM_SystemComponent association. The Scoping Instance may be associated with the
CIM_AdminDomain instance through the CIM_SystemComponent where the Central Instance is the
PartComponent reference. This indicates that components within the enclosure that are not explicitly
modeled receive power from the domain represented by the CIM_AdminDomain instance.
7.2 External Power Domains
The external power domains of the system, representing the system power draw from one or many
external power sources, shall be modeled. While modeling the external power domains, the requirements
in the following section shall apply.
7.2.1 Representing an External Power Domain
There shall be exactly one instance of CIM_AdminDomain for each external power domain in the system.
The instance of CIM_AdminDomain shall be implemented as defined in 10.2. The instance of
CIM_AdminDomain shall be associated with the Scoping Instance through the CIM_SystemComponent
association, where the value of the GroupComponent reference is the Scoping Instance and the value of
the PartComponent reference is the CIM_AdminDomain instance.
7.2.2 Power Supplies in External Domain
Each power supply that draws power from the external power domain shall be associated with the
CIM_AdminDomain instances representing the external power sources for the power supply, through the
CIM_SystemComponent association where PartComponent references the CIM_PowerSupply instance
and GroupComponent references the CIM_AdminDomain instance.
7.3 Power Redundancy
The power redundancy of the managed system and its components are represented through the
redundancy of power supplies, and the redundancy of power domains. Both power redundancies are in
respect to the power consuming managed system, or a particular set of its components.
There shall be one and only one CIM_RedundancySet representing the redundancy of external power
domains that shall be associated to one and only one instance of CIM_RedundancySet representing the
