Classes
Classes and properties are defined by the CIM schema. The profiles identify mandatory classes and properties in order to implement the profile. The classes and properties listed below have been implemented by OMCI
in order to support the profiles listed above.

Dell OpenManage Client Instrumentation Classes and Properties
Dell OpenMange Client Instrumentation provides information for a namespace through different classes.
Dell OpenManage Client Instrumentation DMTF Profiles
The namespace to access the Dell OMCI DMTF profiles is root\dcim\sysman.
The following tables describe the DMTF profiles and the classes associated with each profile.

DCIM_AlertIndication
AlertingElementFormat
The format of the AlertingManagedElement property is interpretable based upon the value of this property.
Possible values are:
0 = Unknown - The format is unknown or not meaningfully interpretable by a CIM client application.
1 = Other - The format is defined by the value of the OtherAlertingElementFormat property.
2 = CIMObjectPath - The format is a CIMObjectPath, with format NamespacePath:ClassName.Prop1="Value1", Prop2="Value2", . . . specifying an instance in the CIM Schema.
AlertingManagedElement
The identifying information of the entity (that is, the instance) for which this Indication is generated. The property contains the path of an instance, encoded as a string parameter - if the instance is modeled in the CIM
Schema. If not a CIM instance, the property contains some identifying string that names the entity for which the Alert is generated. The path or identifying string is formatted per the AlertingElementFormat property.
AlertType
Primary classification of the Indication.
Possible values are:
1 = Other - The Indication's OtherAlertType property conveys its classification. Use of "Other" in an enumeration is a standard CIM convention. It means that the current Indication does not fit into the categories described
by this enumeration.
2 = Communications Alert - An Indication of this type is principally associated with the procedures and/or processes required to convey information from one point to another.
3 = Quality of Service Alert - An Indication of this type is principally associated with a degradation or errors in the performance or function of an entity.
4 = Processing Error - An Indication of this type is principally associated with a software or processing fault.
5 = Device Alert - An Indication of this type is principally associated with an equipment or hardware fault.
6 = Environmental Alert - An Indication of this type is principally associated with a condition relating to an enclosure in which the hardware resides, or other environmental considerations.
7 = Model Change - The Indication addresses changes in the Information Model. For example, it may embed a Lifecycle Indication to convey the specific model change being alerted.
8 = Security Alert - An Indication of this type is associated with security violations, detection of viruses, and similar issues.
EventID
An instrumentation or provider specific value that describes the underlying "real-world" event represented by the Indication. Two Indications with the same, non NULL EventID value are considered, by the creating entity,
to represent the same event. The comparison of two EventID values is only defined for Alert Indications with identical, non NULL values of SystemCreateClassName, SystemName, and ProviderName.
IndicationIdentifier
An identifier for the Indication. This property is similar to a key value in that it can be used for identification, when correlating Indications (see the CorrelatedIndications array). Its value SHOULD be unique as long as
correlations are reported, but MAY be reused or left NULL if no future Indications will reference it in their CorrelatedIndications array.To ensure uniqueness, the value of IndicationIdentifier should be constructed using the
following "preferred" algorithm:
<OrgID>:<LocalID>
Where <OrgID> and <LocalID> are separated by a colon (:), and where <OrgID> must include a copyrighted, trademarked, or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity that is creating or defining the
IndicationIdentifier or that is a recognized ID that is assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority. (This requirement is similar to the <Schema Name>_<Class Name> structure of Schema class names.)
In addition, to ensure uniqueness <OrgID> must not contain a colon (:). When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in IndicationIdentifier must appear between <OrgID> and <LocalID>.
<LocalID> is chosen by the business entity and should not be re-used to identify different underlying (real-world) elements.
If the above "preferred" algorithm is not used, the defining entity should assure that the resulting IndicationIdentifier is not re-used across any IndicationIdentifiers that are produced by this or other providers for the
