DCIM_PowerManagementCapabilities
Property Description
ElementName
The user friendly name for this instance of Capabilities. In addition, the user
friendly name can be used as a index property for a search of query.
NOTE: Name does not have to be unique within a namespace.
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.
PowerChangeCapabilities
An enumeration indicating the specific power-related capabilities of a managed
element. Since this is an array, multiple values may be specified.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = Other
• 2 = Power Saving Modes Entered Automatically - Indicates that a managed
element can change its power state based on usage or other criteria
• 3 = Power State Settable - Indicates that the RequestPowerStateChange
method is supported
• 4 = Power Cycling Supported - Indicates that the
RequestPowerStateChange method can be invoked with the PowerState
input variable set to 'Power Cycle (Off Soft)'
• 5 = Timed Power On Supported - Indicates that the
RequestPowerStateChange method can be invoked with the PowerState
input variable set to 'Power On' and the Time parameter set to a specific
date and time, or interval, for power-on.
• 6 = Off Hard Power Cycling Supported
• 7 = HW Reset Supported
• 8 = Graceful Shutdown Supported - Indicates that the managed element
can be sent a hardware signal requesting an orderly shutdown prior to the
requested power state change.
PowerStatesSupported
An enumeration that indicates the power states supported by a managed element.
Because this is an array, multiple values can be specified. The current values in
the enumeration are:
• 2 = On - Corresponds to ACPI state G0 or S0 or D0.
• 3 = Sleep - Light - Corresponds to ACPI state G1, S1/S2, or D1.
