class CIM_OSVersionCheck : CIM_Check

Description:

The OSVersionCheck class specifies the versions of the operating system that can support/execute this Software Element. The operating system itself (whose version should be validated) is defined in the TargetOperatingSystem property of the Check's scoping SoftwareElement. This Check can be for a specific, minimum, maximum or a range of releases of an OS. To identify a specific version of the OS, the minimum and maximum versions must be the same. To specify a minimum, only the minimum version needs to be defined. To specify a maximum version, only the maximum version needs to be defined. To specify a range, both minimum and maximum versions need to be defined. The data gathered from the Check and SoftwareElement objects are compared with the corresponding details found in the CIM_OperatingSystem object (referenced by the InstalledOS association), for the CIM_ComputerSystem object that defines the environment. The OSType property of CIM_OperatingSystem must match the value of CIM_SoftwareElement.TargetOperating System. Also, the OS' version information should be within the range of CIM_OSVersionCheck.Minimum/MaximumValue properties. Note that all the operating systems on the relevant computer do not need to satisfy the Check.

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
Description The Description property provides a textual description of the object.
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.

CheckID string CIM_Check
Key TRUE
Description An identifier used in conjunction with other keys to uniquely identify the Check.
MaxLen 256
CheckMode boolean CIM_Check
Description The CheckMode property is used to indicate whether the condition is expected to exist or not exist in the environment. When the value is True, the condition is expected to exist (e.g., a file is expected to be on a system), so the Invoke methods are expected to return True. When the value is False, the condition is not expected to exist (e.g., a file is not to be on a system), so the Invoke methods are expected to return False.
Invoke method CIM_Check
Description The Invoke method evaluates this Check. The details of the evaluation are described by the specific subclasses of CIM_Check. When the SoftwareElement being checked is already installed, the CIM_InstalledSoftwareElement association identifies the CIM_ComputerSystem in whose context the Invoke is executed. If this association is not in place, then the InvokeOnSystem method should be used - since it identifies the TargetSystem as an input parameter of the method. The results of the Invoke method are based on the return value. A zero is returned if the condition is satisfied. A one is returned if the method is not supported. Any other value indicates the condition is not satisfied.
InvokeOnSystem method CIM_Check
Description The InvokeOnSystem method evaluates this Check. The details of the evaluation are described by the specific subclasses of CIM_Check. The method's TargetSystem input parameter specifies the ComputerSystem in whose context the method is invoked. The results of the InvokeOnSystem method are based on the return value. A zero is returned if the condition is satisfied. A one is returned if the method is not supported. Any other value indicates the condition is not satisfied.
MinimumVersion string CIM_OSVersionCheck
Description Minimum version of the required operating system. The value is encoded as <major>.<minor>.<revision> or <major>.<minor><letter revision>.
MaxLen 64
ModelCorrespondence CIM_OperatingSystem.Version
MaximumVersion string CIM_OSVersionCheck
Description Maximum version of the required operating system. The value is encoded as <major>.<minor>.<revision> or <major>.<minor><letter revision>.
MaxLen 64
