| Name | Data Type | Value |
| BIOSBootString | string | |
| Description | string | A 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. |
| BootString | string | |
| Description | string | A 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"". |
| FailThroughSupported | uint16 | |
| Description | string | An 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) |
| ValueMap | string | 0, 1, 2 |
| Values | string | Unknown, Is Supported, Not Supported |
| StructuredBootString | string | |
| Description | string | A 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. |
