DCIM_ComputerSystem
Property Description
CreationClassName
Indicates the name of the class or the subclass used in the creation
of an instance. When used with the other key properties of this class,
this property allows all instances of this class and its subclasses to
be uniquely identified.
Dedicated
Enumeration indicating the purpose(s) for which the ComputerSystem
is dedicated, if any, and the functionality provided. For example, one
could specify that the System is dedicated to "Print" (value=11) or acts
as a "Hub" (value=8).
Also, a value=0 indicates this is a general purpose system, 'Not
Dedicated' but that it also hosts 'Print' (value=11) or mobile phone
'Mobile User Device' (value=17) services.
A clarification is needed with respect to the value 17 ("Mobile User
Device"). An example of a dedicated user device is a mobile phone or
a barcode scanner in a store that communicates via radio frequency.
These systems are quite limited in functionality and programmability,
and are not considered 'general purpose' computing platforms.
Alternately, an example of a mobile system that is 'general purpose'
(that is, is NOT dedicated) is a hand-held computer. Although limited
in its programmability, new software can be downloaded and its
functionality expanded by the user.
The management scope of a "Management Controller" is typically a
single managed system in which it is contained.
