| Name | Data Type | Default Value | Qualifiers |
| Name | Data Type | Value |
| AutomaticRecoveryAction | uint16 | |
| Description | string | Action to take for the virtual system when the software executed by the virtual system fails. Failures in this case means a failure that is detectable by the host platform, such as a non-interuptable wait state condition. |
| ValueMap | string | 2, 3, 4, .. |
| Values | string | None, Restart, Revert to snapshot, DMTF Reserved |
| AutomaticShutdownAction | uint16 | |
| Description | string | Action to take for the virtual system when the host is shut down. |
| ValueMap | string | 2, 3, 4, .. |
| Values | string | Turn Off, Save state, Shutdown, DMTF Reserved |
| AutomaticStartupAction | uint16 | |
| Description | string | Action to take for the virtual system when the host is started. |
| ValueMap | string | 2, 3, 4, .. |
| Values | string | None, Restart if previously active, Always startup, DMTF Reserved |
| AutomaticStartupActionDelay | datetime | |
| Description | string | Delay applicable to startup action. The value shall be in the interval variant of the datetime datatype. |
| AutomaticStartupActionSequenceNumber | uint16 | |
| Description | string | Number indicating the relative sequence of virtual system activation when the host system is started. A lower number indicates earlier activation. If one or more configurations show the same value, the sequence is implementation dependent. A value of 0 indicates that the sequence is implementation dependent. |
| ConfigurationDataRoot | string | |
| Description | string | Filepath of a directory where information about the virtual system configuration is stored.Format shall be URI based on RFC 2079. |
| ConfigurationFile | string | |
| Description | string | Filepath of a file where information about the virtual system configuration is stored. A relative path appends to the value of the ConfigurationDataRoot property.Format shall be URI based on RFC 2079. |
| ConfigurationID | string | |
| Description | string | Unique id of the virtual system configuration. Note that the ConfigurationID is different from the InstanceID as it is assigned by the implementation to a virtual system or a virtual system configuration. It is not a key, and the same value may occur within more than one instance. |
| CreationTime | datetime | |
| Description | string | Time when the virtual system configuration was created. |
| LogDataRoot | string | |
| Description | string | Filepath of a directory where log information about the virtual system is stored. A relative path appends to the value of the ConfigurationDataRoot property.Format shall be URI based on RFC 2079. |
| RecoveryFile | string | |
| Description | string | Filepath of a file where recovery relateded information of the virtual system is stored.Format shall be URI based on RFC 2079. |
| SnapshotDataRoot | string | |
| Description | string | Filepath of a directory where information about virtual system snapshots is stored. A relative path appends to the value of the ConfigurationDataRoot property.Format shall be URI based on RFC 2079. |
| SuspendDataRoot | string | |
| Description | string | Filepath of a directory where suspend related information about the virtual system is stored. A relative path appends to the value of the ConfigurationDataRoot property.Format shall be URI based on RFC 2079. |
| SwapFileDataRoot | string | |
| Description | string | Filepath of a directory where swapfiles of the virtual system are stored. A relative path appends to the value of the ConfigurationDataRoot property.Format shall be URI based on RFC 2079. |
| VirtualSystemIdentifier | string | |
| Description | string | VirtualSystemIdentifier shall reflect a unique name for the system as it is used within the virtualization platform. Note that the VirtualSystemIdentifier is not the hostname assigned to the operating system instance running within the virtual system, nor is it an IP address or MAC address assigned to any of its network ports.
On create requests VirtualSystemIdentifier may contain implementation specific rules (like simple patterns or regular expresssion) that may be interpreted by the implementation when assigning a VirtualSystemIdentifier. |
| VirtualSystemType | string | |
| Description | string | VirtualSystemType shall reflect a particular type of virtual system.
The property value shall conform to this format (in ABNF): vs-type = dmtf-value / other-org-value / legacy-value; dmtf-value = "DMTF:" defining-org ":" org-vs-type; other-org-value = defining-org ":" org-vs-type;
Where: dmtf-value:
is a property value defined by DMTF and is defined in the description of this property. other-org-value:
is a property value defined by a business entity other than DMTF and is not defined in the description of this property. legacy-value:
is a property value defined by a business entity other than DMTF and is not defined in the description of this property. These values are permitted but recommended to be deprecated over time. defining-org:
is an identifier for the business entity that defines the virtual system type. It shall include a copyrighted, trademarked, or otherwise unique name that is owned by that business entity. It shall not be "DMTF" and shall not contain a colon (:). org-vs-type:
is an identifier for the virtual system type within the defining business entity. It shall be unique within the defining-org. It may use any character allowed for CIM strings, except for the following: U0000-U001F (Unicode C0 controls) U0020 (space), note that the reason is that OVF allows for multiple space-separated vs-type values in this property. U007F (Unicode C0 controls) U0080-U009F (Unicode C1 controls)
If there is a need to structure the value into segments, the segments should be separated with a single colon (:).
The values of this property shall be processed case sensitively. They are intended to be processed programmatically (instead of being a display name) and should be short.
As stated in the class description, instances of this class may be used for various purposes. A management application intending to use an instance of this class as input parameter to an operation that creates or modifies a virtual system should first determine the set of valid virtual system types that are supported by the virtualization platform hosting the virtual system by inspecting values of array property VirtualSystemTypesSupported of the instance of class CIM_VirtualSystemManagementCapabilities that describes the capabilities of the virtualization platform.
The following DMTF values are defined: DMTF:unknown - the virtual system type is unknown or cannot be determined |
| Notes | string[] | |
| Description | string | End-user supplied notes that are related to the virtual system. |
