DCIM_ConcreteCollection
Property Description
ElementName
A user-friendly name for the object. This property allows each instance to
define a user-friendly name in addition to its key properties, identity data,
and description information.
NOTE: The Name property of ManagedSystemElement is also
defined as a user-friendly name. But, it is often subclassed to be a
Key. It is not reasonable that the same property can convey both
identity and a user-friendly name, without inconsistencies. Where
Name exists and is not a Key (such as for instances of
LogicalDevice), the same information can be present in both the
Name and ElementName properties.
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.
