Return values of zero indicate success, while others indicate failure and may include a corresponding

error message.

8.4.2 Power State Management Method

Changing the power state is performed by invoking the RequestPowerStateChange() method of the

DCIM_PowerManagementService (PMS) class instance. It is a three step process shown below:

1) Enumerate the DCIM_PowerManagementService with EPR

2) Enumerate the DCIM_ComputerSystem class and search for the Host instance

3) Use the EPR on steps 1) and 2) to invoke RequestPowerStateChange()

9 Hardware Inventory

The Dell Common Information Model (CIM) class extensions for supporting remote hardware inventories

are defined in the various Dell profiles and related MOFs

. The Hardware Inventory allows users to

remote query the inventory of hardware.

Each of the hardware inventory classes return the attribute LastSystemInventoryTime, which is when

the last time ‘collect system inventory on restart’ or CSIOR was run. See Section 12.1 for more details

on CSIOR. It is an important attribute as it shows how recently the inventory was updated.

9.1 Power Supply Inventory

This section describes the implementation for the DCIM_PowerSupplyView class. The Dell Power Supply

Profile describes platform’s power supply information. Each platform power supply is represented by

an instance of DCIM_PowerSupplyView class.
