Identifying the Base
Server Scoping Instance
The Scoping Instance of
CIM_ComputerSystem
for the Base Server profile
is an object that represents the managed server. Various hardware and software
components of the managed server are represented by CIM objects associated with
this Scoping Instance.
A client can locate CIM objects by using one of
the following ways:
- Enumerate instances in the Implementation namespace, and then filter the results by their property values. This approach requires specific knowledge of the Implementation namespace and the subclassing used by the SMASH implementation on the managed server.
- Locate the Base Server Scoping Instance that represents the managed server, and then traverse selected association objects to find the desired components. This approach requires less knowledge of the implementation details.
Figure 1
shows the association between the profile registration instance in the Interop
namespace and the Base Server Scoping Instance in the Implementation namespace.
