RecordData

If the corresponding RecordFormat property is <empty>, or cannot be parsed according to the recommended format,

RecordData should be interpreted as a free-form string. If the RecordFormat property contains parseable format information (as recommended in the RecordFormat Description

qualifier), the RecordData string SHOULD be parsed in accordance with this format. In this case, RecordData SHOULD begin with the delimiter character and this character SHOULD

be used to separate substrings in the manner described. The RecordData string can then be parsed by the data consumer and appropriately typed.

RecordFormat

A string describing the data structure of the information in the property, RecordData. If the RecordFormat string is <empty>, RecordData should be

interpreted as a free-form string.

To describe the data structure of RecordData, the RecordFormat string should be constructed as follows:

- The first character is a delimiter

character and is used to parse the remainder of the string into sub-strings.

- Each sub-string is separated by the delimiter character and should be in the form of a CIM

property declaration (i.e., datatype and property name). This set of declarations may be used to interpret the similarly delimited RecordData property.

For example, using a '*'

delimiter, RecordFormat = "*string ThisDay*uint32 ThisYear*datetime SomeTime"

may be used to interpret: RecordData = "*This is Friday*2002*20020807141000.000000-300".

RecordID RecordID may be used to provide a representation of log entry ordering or pointers/handles for log entries.

InstanceID

Within the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and uniquely identifies an instance of this class. In order to ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value of InstanceID SHOULD be constructed

using the following 'preferred' algorithm:

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 creating/defining the InstanceID,

or is a registered ID that is assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority (This 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 InstanceID 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 MUST assure that the

resultant InstanceID is not re-used across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for this instance's NameSpace.

For DMTF defined instances, the 'preferred' algorithm MUST be used with the <OrgID> set to 'CIM'.

SupportedActivationStates

SupportedActivationStates indicates the supported activation states for the associated IndicatorLED. See CIM_IndicatorLED.ActivationState for descriptions of the values.

Possible values are:

2 = Lit

3 = Blinking

4 = Off

5 = Control Pattern

.. = DMTF Reserved

32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved

SupportedColors

This property indicates the colors supported by the associated instance of CIM_IndicatorLED.

Possible values are:

1 = Other

3 = White

4 = Red

5 = Green

6 = Blue

7 = Orange

8 = Yellow

9 = Black

.. = DMTF Reserved

32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved

SupportedControlModes

SupportedControlModes indicates the control modes supported for the LED.See CIM_IndicatorLED.CurrentControlMode for more information.

Possible values are:

2 = Automatic

3 = Manual

4 = Test

.. = DMTF Reserved

32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved

SupportedControlPatterns

SupportedControlPatterns describes the control patterns supported by the associated LED. The values of SupportedControlPatterns may be an exact match for values allowed for CIM_IndicatorLED.ControlPatterns or may

indicate general categories of behavior. The interpretation of value is specific to the business entity identified by <OrgID>.

Each value of SupportedControlPatterns is constructed using the following "preferred" algorithm: <OrgID>::<Pattern>

Where <OrgID> and < Pattern> are separated by two colons (::), and where <OrgID> includes a copyrighted, trademarked, or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity that is creating or defining the

ControlPattern or that is a registered ID assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority. <Pattern> is chosen by the business entity and is not reused to identify different underlying (real-world) behaviors.

If the behavior specified for the LED adheres to a standard or proprietary specification, <Pattern> is a uniquely assigned value identifying the behavior. If the behavior for the LED is described using a standard or

proprietary grammar, <Pattern> is prefixed with a uniquely assigned identifier for the grammar.

SupportedIndicatedConditions

The conditions that may be indicated by the LED.See CIM_IndicatorLED.IndicatedCondition for a description of the values.

Possible values are:

1 = Other

3 = Location

4 = Attention

5 = Activity

6 = Powered On

7 = Fault

.. = DMTF Reserved

32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved

DCIM_ProcessorCapabilities

ElementNameEditSupported Boolean indicating whether the ElementName can be modified.

ElementNameMask

This string expresses the restrictions on ElementName.The mask is expressed as a regular expression.See DMTF standard ABNF with the Profile Users Guide, appendix C for the regular expression syntax permitted.

Since the ElementNameMask can describe the maximum lengthof the ElementName, then the requirements expressed in this property takes precidence of any length expressed in MaxElementNameLen.

InstanceID

using the following 'preferred' algorithm:

<OrgID> MUST NOT contain a colon (':'). When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in InstanceID MUST appear between <OrgID> and <LocalID>.
