InstanceID |
|
Description
|
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'. |

| Caption |
string |

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

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. |

| CurrentlyAuthenticated |
boolean |
CIM_Identity |
|
Description
|
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. |

Required
|
TRUE |
|
Description
|
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. |
