DCIM_BootSourceSetting
Property Description
BIOSBootString
A string identifying the boot source which corresponds to the
string used by the BIOS to uniquely name the boot source. For
example, in systems which implement the BIOS Boot
Specification, the string could correspond to the descString
string for entries in the IPL Table or BCV Table.
ElementName
The user-friendly name for this instance of SettingData. In
addition, the user-friendly name can be used as an index property
for a search or query.
NOTE: The name does not have to be unique within a
namespace.
FailThroughSupported
An enumeration indicating the behavior when the attempt to boot
using the boot source fails (no media, timeout).
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = Is Supported - Indicates that next boot source the
boot order is used.
• 2 = Not Supported - Indicates that the boot order is
terminated and no other boot sources associated to the
same CIM_BootConfigSetting are used).
The default is 1 (Is Supported).
InstanceID
Within the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID
opaquely and uniquely identifies an instance of this class. To
ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value of
InstanceID 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
InstanceID or that is a registered ID 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 InstanceID must appear between <OrgID> and
<LocalID>. <LocalID> is chosen by the business entity and should
not be reused to identify different underlying (real-world)
elements. If the above "preferred" algorithm is not used, the
defining entity must assure that the resulting InstanceID is not
reused across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other
providers for the NameSpace of this instance. For DMTF-defined
instances, the "preferred" algorithm must be used with the
<OrgID> set to CIM.
StructuredBootString
A string identifying the boot source using the format
"<OrgID>:<identifier>:<index>", in which neither<OrgID>,
<identifier> or <index> contains a colon (":"). The value of
<OrgID>is a copyrighted, trademarked or otherwise unique name
that is owned by the entity defining the <identifier>, or is a
registered ID that is assigned to the entity by a recognized global
