class CIM_FRU : CIM_ManagedElement

Description:

The CIM_FRU class is a vendor-defined collection of Products and/or PhysicalElements that is associated with a Product for the purpose of supporting, maintaining or upgrading that Product at the customer's location. FRU is an acronym for 'field replaceable unit'.

Feature Type Class Origin Qualifiers
InstanceID string CIM_ManagedElement
Description InstanceID is an optional property that may be used to opaquely and uniquely identify an instance of this class within the scope of the instantiating Namespace. Various subclasses of this class may override this property to make it required, or a key. Such subclasses may also modify the preferred algorithms for ensuring uniqueness that are defined below. 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 not null and 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. If not set to null for DMTF-defined instances, the "preferred" algorithm must be used with the <OrgID> set to CIM.
Caption string CIM_ManagedElement
Description The Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object.
MaxLen 64
Description string CIM_ManagedElement
Override Description
Description A textual description of the FRU.
MappingStrings MIF.DMTF|FRU|002.3
ElementName string CIM_ManagedElement
Description 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 that 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.
FRUNumber string CIM_FRU
Key TRUE
Description FRU ordering information.
MaxLen 64
MappingStrings MIF.DMTF|FRU|002.6
IdentifyingNumber string CIM_FRU
Key TRUE
Description FRU identification such as a serial number on software or a die number on a hardware chip.
MaxLen 64
MappingStrings MIF.DMTF|FRU|002.7
Vendor string CIM_FRU
Key TRUE
Description The name of the FRU's supplier.
MaxLen 256
MappingStrings MIF.DMTF|FRU|002.4
Name string CIM_FRU
Description FRU name.
MaxLen 256
RevisionLevel string CIM_FRU
Description The FRU's revision level.
MaxLen 64
MappingStrings MIF.DMTF|FRU|002.8
CustomerReplaceable boolean CIM_FRU
Description Indicates whether the FRU is customer replaceable.
