2/22/2020 • 2 minutes to read • Edit Online

The CIMWin32 WMI providers support the classes implemented in CimWin32.dll, and consist of the core CIM WMI
classes, the Win32 implementation of those classes, and power management events.
This section contains:
CIM WMI Provider

 CIM WMI Provider
2/22/2020 • 33 minutes to read • Edit Online

These WMI classes are declared in CimWin32.mof.

In this section
CIM_Action
A CIM_Action class is an operation that is part of a process to either create a software element in its next state or
to eliminate the software element in the current state.
CIM_ActionSequence
The CIM_ActionSequence association defines a series of operations that transition the software element
(referenced by the CIM_SoftwareElementActions association) to its next state, or removes the software element
from its current state.
CIM_ActsAsSpare
The CIM_ActsAsSpare association indicates which elements can be spares or replace other aggregated elements.
A spare can operate in "hot-standby" mode as specified on an element-by-element basis.
CIM_AdjacentSlots
The CIM_AdjacentSlots association describes the layout of slots on a hosting board or adapter card. Information,
such as the distance between the slots and whether they are "shared" (if one is populated, then the other slot
cannot be used), is conveyed as association properties.
CIM_AggregatePExtent
The CIM_AggregatePExtent class provides summary information about addressable logical blocks, which are in
the same storage redundancy group and located on the same physical media.
CIM_AggregatePSExtent
The CIM_AggregatePSExtent class defines the number of addressable logical blocks on a single storage device,
excluding logical blocks mapped as check data. If volume sets are defined, the logical blocks are contained within a
single volume set. This is an alternative grouping for CIM_ProtectedSpaceExtent , when only summary
information is needed or when automatic configuration is used.
CIM_AggregateRedundancyComponent
The CIM_AggregateRedundancyComponent class describes the aggregate physical extent in a storage
redundancy group.
CIM_AlarmDevice
The CIM_AlarmDevice class is an alarm device that emits audible or visible indications related to a problem
situation.
CIM_AllocatedResource
The CIM_AllocatedResource class represents an association between logical devices and system resources and
indicates that the resource is assigned to the device.
CIM_ApplicationSystem
The CIM_ApplicationSystem class represents an application or software system that supports a particular
business function that can be managed as an independent unit. Such a system can be decomposed into its
functional components using the CIM_SoftwareFeature class. The software features for a particular application
or software system are located using the CIM_ApplicationSystemSoftwareFeature association.
CIM_ApplicationSystemSoftwareFeature
The CIM_ApplicationSystemSoftwareFeature class represents an association that identifies the software
features that make up a particular application system. The software features can be included in different products.
CIM_AssociatedAlarm
The CIM_AssociatedAlarm dependency associates an alarm with a logical device.
CIM_AssociatedBatter y
The CIM_AssociatedBatter y dependency associates a battery with a logical device. Use this association to model
individual batteries that make up an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
CIM_AssociatedCooling
The CIM_AssociatedCooling association indicates when fans or other cooling devices are specific to a device
(versus providing enclosure or cabinet cooling).
CIM_AssociatedMemor y
The CIM_AssociateMemor y class associates installed or associated memory, such as cache memory with a
logical device.
CIM_AssociatedProcessorMemor y
The CIM_AssociatedProcessorMemor y class associates the processor and system memory, or a processor's
cache.
CIM_AssociatedSensor
The CIM_AssociatedSensor class associates an installed sensor with a logical device. The sensor measures critical
input and output properties, and can be included with the device or installed nearby.
CIM_AssociatedSupplyCurrentSensor
The CIM_AssociatedSupplyCurrentSensor class associates a power supply with a current (amperage) sensor
that monitors its input frequency.
CIM_AssociatedSupplyVoltageSensor
Associates a power supply with a voltage sensor that monitors its input voltage.
CIM_BasedOn
The CIM_BasedOn class represents an association that describes how storage extents can be assembled from
lower-level extents. For example, physical extents include protected space extents. Thus, volume sets are assembled
from one or more physical or protected space extents. Cache memory can be defined independently and realized in
a physical element, or it can be based on volatile or non-volatile storage extents.
CIM_Batter y
The CIM_Batter y class represents the capabilities and management of the battery logical device. This class applies
to batteries in laptop systems and other internal and external batteries.

replacing a memory card, the component memory chips can also be removed and replaced. Or, this association can
be used to replace or upgrade a set of memory chips.
CIM_ResidesOnExtent
The CIM_ResidesOnExtent class represents an association between a file system and the storage extent where it
is located. Typically, a file system resides on a logical disk.
CIM_RunningOS
The CIM_RunningOS class represents the currently executing operating system. At most, one operating system
can execute at any time on a computer system; the computer system may not be currently booted, or its operating
system may be unknown.
CIM_SAPSAPDependency
The CIM_SAPSAPDependency class is an association between two service access points (SAPs), which indicates
that the second SAP is required for the first SAP to connect with its service.
CIM_Scanner
The CIM_Scanner represents the capabilities and management of the scanner logical device.
CIM_SCSIController

functionality provided by a device or software feature. A service is a general-purpose object to configure and
manage the implementation of functionality; it is not the functionality itself.
CIM_Ser viceAccessBySAP
The CIM_Ser viceAccessBySAP association class represents the access points for a service. For example, a printer
can be accessed by NetWare, Macintosh, or Windows service access points (SAPs), which are potentially hosted on
different systems.
CIM_Ser viceAccessPoint
The CIM_Ser viceAccessPoint class represents the ability to use or invoke a service. A
