6.1 Software Inventory Profile Specification
The Dell Common Information Model (CIM) class extensions for supporting remote firmware inventory are
defined in the Dell OS Software Update 2 and related MOFs 3. The diagrams representing the classes that
are implemented by the Lifecycle Controller firmware can be found in Dell Software Inventory Profile.
6.2 Remote Inventory Method Invocation — Get Software Inventory
The SoftwareIdentity class contains information for the BIOS and component firmware installed on the
target system as well as available firmware images cached in the Lifecycle Controller. The enumeration of
the SoftwareIdentity class returns a list of SoftwareIdentity objects with properties such as firmware type
