CIM_StorageHardwareID class

CIM_StorageHardwareID is a hardware ID that serves as an authorization subject. Example are host controller IDs that serve as authorization subjects in disk array LUN Masking.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all of the inherited properties.

Members

The CIM_StorageHardwareID class has these types of members:

Properties

The CIM_StorageHardwareID class has these properties.

Caption
Data type: string
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: MaxLen (64)

The Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedElement.

CurrentlyAuthenticated
Data type: boolean
Access type: Read-only

Boolean indicating whether this Identity has been authenticated, and is currently known within the scope of an AuthenticationService or authority. By default, authenticity SHOULD NOT be assumed. This property is set and cleared by the security infrastructure, and should only be readable within the management infrastructure. Note that its value, alone, may not be sufficient to determine authentication/ authorization, in that properties of an Identity subclass (such as a security token or computer hardware port/ communication details) may be required by the security infrastructure.

This property is inherited from CIM_Identity.

Description
Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Contains a textual description of the object.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedElement.

ElementName
Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Contains 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.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedElement.

IDType
Data type: uint16
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: Required, ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_StorageHardwareID.StorageID")

The type of the ID property. iSCSI IDs may use one of three iSCSI formats - iqn, eui, or naa. This three letter format is the name prefix; so a single iSCSI type is provided here, the prefix can be used to further refine the format.

InstanceID
Data type: string
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: Key

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'.

This property is inherited from CIM_Identity.

OtherIDType
Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

The ID type when IDType is "Other".

StorageID
Data type: string
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: Required, MaxLen (256), ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_StorageHardwareID.IDType")

The hardware worldwide unique ID.
