CIM_VideoBIOSElement class

The CIM_VideoBIOSElement class represents the low-level software that is loaded into non-volatile storage and used to configure and access a computer system's video controller and display.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all of its inherited properties. Properties are listed in alphabetic order, not MOF order.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

IsShadowed

Data type: boolean

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MappingStrings ("MIF.DMTF|Video BIOS|001.5")

Manufacturer and operating system type for a software element when the TargetOperatingSystem property has a value of 1 ("Other"). When the TargetOperatingSystem property has a value of 1, this property must have a non-null value. For all other TargetOperatingSystem values, this property is null. This property is inherited from CIM_SoftwareElement.

SerialNumber

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Maxlen (64), Mappingstrings ("MIF.DMTF|ComponentID|001.4")

Assigned serial number of the software element.

This property is inherited from CIM_SoftwareElement.

SoftwareElementID

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: key, maxlen (256)

Identifier for the software element that is designed to be used in conjunction with other keys to create a unique representation of the CIM_SoftwareElement class.

This property is inherited from CIM_SoftwareElement.

SoftwareElementState

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: key

State of a software element.

This property is inherited from CIM_SoftwareElement.

Deployable (0)

Describes the details necessary for successful distribution and the details (conditions and actions) required to create a software element in the installable state (that is, the next state).

Installable (1)

Describes the details necessary for successful installation and the details (conditions and actions) required to create a software element in the executable state (that is, the next state).

Executable (2)

Describes the details necessary for successful execution and the details (conditions and actions) required to create a software element in the running state (that is, the next state).

Running (3)

Describes the details necessary to monitor and operate on a start element.

Status

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MaxLen (10), DisplayName ("Status")

Current status of the object. This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

Values include the following:

OK ("OK")

Error ("Error")

Degraded ("Degraded")

Unknown ("Unknown")

Pred Fail ("Pred Fail")

Starting ("Starting")

Stopping ("Stopping")

Service ("Service")

Stressed ("Stressed")

TargetOperatingSystem

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: key, Mappingstrings ("MIF.DMTF|Software Component Information|002.5"), ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_OperatingSystem.OSType")

Operating system environment. The value of this property does not ensure binary execution. The version of the operating system must be specified using the operating system version check. Also required is the architecture on which the operating system runs. The combination of these constructs allows the provider to clearly identify the level of operating system required for a particular software element.

This property is inherited from CIM_SoftwareElement.
