Class CIM_BootSourceSetting


  extends CIM_SettingData
A class derived from SettingData that provides the information necessary to describe a boot source. This may be optionally associated to a bootable logical device, such as a hard disk partition, or a network device. The information from this class instance is used by the boot manager, such as BIOS/EFI or OS Loader to initiate the boot process, when this instance appears in a BootConfigSetting collection.

NameData TypeQualifiers
NameData TypeValueScopeFlavors
BIOSBootStringstring
DescriptionstringA string identifying the boot source which corresponds to the string used by the BIOS to uniquely name the boot source. For example, in systems which implement the BIOS Boot Specification, the string could correspond to the descString string for entries in the IPL Table or BCV Table.None TRANSLATABLE= true
BootStringstring
DescriptionstringA string identifying the boot source. It is typically used by the instrumentation to pass to the boot manager as a selection string. This could be a string identifying the bootable device, such as "CDROM 1", or could be an implementation specific address of a bootable partition, such as the following. "fd(64)unix root=hd(40) swap=hd(41)", or "multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional"".None TRANSLATABLE= true
Captionstring
DescriptionstringThe Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object.None TRANSLATABLE= true
MaxLenuint3264None None
Descriptionstring
DescriptionstringThe Description property provides a textual description of the object.None TRANSLATABLE= true
ElementNamestring
DescriptionstringThe user-friendly name for this instance of SettingData. In addition, the user-friendly name can be used as an index property for a search or query. (Note: The name does not have to be unique within a namespace.)None TRANSLATABLE= true
OverridestringElementNameTOSUBCLASS= falseNone
RequiredbooleantrueNone OVERRIDABLE= false
FailThroughSupporteduint16
DescriptionstringAn enumeration indicating the behavior when the attempt to boot using the boot source fails (no media, timeout). The current values in the enumeration are: 0 = Unknown 1 = Is Supported 2 = Is Not Supported. A value of 1 (Is Supported) indicates that next boot source the boot order is used. A value of 2 (Is Not Supported) indicates that the boot order is terminated and no other boot sources associated to the same CIM_BootConfigSetting are used). The default is 1 (Is Supported)None TRANSLATABLE= true
ValueMapstring0, 1, 2None None
ValuesstringUnknown, Is Supported, Not SupportedNone TRANSLATABLE= true
InstanceIDstring
DescriptionstringWithin the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and uniquely identifies an instance of this class. 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 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. For DMTF-defined instances, the "preferred" algorithm must be used with the <OrgID> set to CIM.None TRANSLATABLE= true
KeybooleantrueNone OVERRIDABLE= false
OverridestringInstanceIDTOSUBCLASS= falseNone
StructuredBootStringstring
DescriptionstringA string identifying the boot source using the format "<OrgID>:<identifier>:<index>", in which neither <OrgID>, <identifier> or <index> contains a colon (":"). The value of <OrgID> is a copyrighted, trademarked or otherwise unique name that is owned by the entity defining the <identifier>, or is a registered ID that is assigned to the entity by a recognized global authority. For DMTF defined identifiers, the <OrgID> is set to 'CIM'. The <identifiers> are "Floppy", "Hard-Disk", "CD/DVD", "Network", "PCMCIA", "USB". The value of <index> shall be a non-zero integer.None TRANSLATABLE= true
