Property Description
• 3 = Load Balanced - Indicates all members are
active. However, there functionality is not
independent of each other. Their functioning is
determined by some sort of load balancing
algrothim (implemented in hardware and/or
software). 'Sparing' is implied (i.e. each member
can be a spare for the other(s).
• 4 = Sparing - Indicates that all members are active
and are aware of each others. However, their
functionality is independent until failover. Each
member can be a spare for the other(s).
• 5 = Limited Sparing - Indicates that all members
are active, and they may or may not be aware of
each and they are not spares for each other.
Instead, their redundancy is indicated by the
IsSpare relationship.
• .. = DMTF Reserved

DCIM_Role
Property Description
CommonName
A Common Name is a (possibly ambiguous) name by which the role is
commonly known in some limited scope (such as an organization) and
conforms to the naming conventions of the country or culture with
which it is associated.
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.
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.
Name
The Name property defines the label by which the object is known. In
the case of an LDAP-derived instance, the Name property value may
be set to the distinguished name of the LDAP-accessed object
instance.
RoleCharacteristics
RoleCharacteristics provides descriptive information about the
intended usage of the Role.
Possible values are:
• 2 = Static
• 3 = Opaque
• .. = DMTF Reserved
