Documenting CIM Classes and Their Properties
The Dell CIM provider extends support to Dell-specific software and
hardware components. The Dell MOF defines the classes for the Dell CIM
provider. All of the supported classes and properties in the MOF are
documented in this guide.
The following subsections define some of the basic building blocks of
CIM classes that are used in describing the dccim32 provider name.
These subsections also explain how the elements used in describing
these classes are organized. This section does not document the entire
CIM schema, but only those classes and properties supported by the
dccim32 provider. The list of properties for each supported class varies greatly.
Base Classes
The classes listed in the Server Administrator CIM provider class hierarchy
do not have a parent property. These base classes do not derive from
another class. The base classes are:
• CIM_ManagedSystemElement
• CIM_Dependency
• DELL_Esm Log
• DELL_PostLog
• DELL_CMApplication
• DELL_CMDevice
• DELL_CMDeviceApplications
