DCIM_AllocationCapabilities
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. In order 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 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'.
