Profiles

OMCI uses industry standard profiles to represent the management data provided. These profiles are implemented

either as defined or in some cases have Dell-specific extensions.

The following is a list of profiles that are implemented in this version of OMCI:

Non-extended profiles:

• Base Metrics — The Base Metrics Profile is a component profile that defines the minimum object model needed

to provide dynamic metrics associated to existing managed element s and related associations.

• Battery — The Battery Profile extends the management capabilities of referencing profiles by adding the

capability to represent batteries for manageability. The battery as a logical device is modeled as referencing the

battery physical package for physical asset information, the sensor for sensor-reading information, and the

profile registration for the schema implementation version information.

• BIOS Management — The BIOS Management Profile extends the management capabilities of referencing

profiles by adding the capability to represent and configure BIOS attributes, such as a Network Controller or IDE

Controller. The individual BIOS attribute’s relationship with a respective device is also described.

• Boot Control — The Boot Control Profile describes the classes, associations, properties, and methods used to

manage the boot control configurations of a physical or virtual computer system.

• CPU — The CPU Profile extends the management capability of referencing profiles by adding the capability to

represent CPUs or processors in a managed system . CPU cache memory and associations with CPU physical

aspects, as well as profile implementation version information, are modeled in this profile.

• Fan — The Fan Profile extends the management capabilities of referencing profiles by adding the capability to

represent fans for manageability and describe fans in a redundant configuration. The fan as a logical device is

modeled as referencing the fan physical package for physical asset information, a sensor for sensor reading

information.

• Indications — The Indications Profile defines the CIM elements that are used to subscribe for indications of

unsolicited events, to advertise the possible indications, and to represent indications used to report events in a

managed system.

• IP Interface — The IP Interface Profile extends the management capability of referencing profiles by adding the

capability to represent an IP interface of a managed system.

• OS Status — The OS Status Profile extends the management capabilities of referencing profiles by adding the

capability to perform basic management of operating systems installed on a system.

• PCI Device — The PCI Device Profile extends the management capabilities of referencing profiles by adding the

capability to represent PCI devices for manageability, including PCI, PCI-X, PCI Express, bridge and switch

devices.

• Physical Asset — The Physical Asset Profile extends the management capability of the referencing profiles by

adding the capability to describe the physical aspects of logical elements that the implementation is

instantiating.

• Power State Management — The Power State Management Profile describes the classes, associations,

properties, and methods used to manage the power of a computer system.

• Profile Registration — The Profile Registration extends the management capability of the referencing profiles by

adding the capability to describe the registration and versioning of CIM profiles that are implemented by CIM

based system and component management instrumentations.

• RecordLog — The Record Log Profile is an autonomous profile that provides the management capabilities to

represent logs of a managed system element.

• Sensors — The Sensors Profile extends the management capabilities of referencing profiles by adding the

capability to represent sensors.
