Class CIM_ConfigurationCapacity
extends CIM_PhysicalCapacity

ConfigurationCapacity provides information on the minimum and maximum numbers of power supplies, fans, disk drives, etc. that can be connected to or placed on/into a PhysicalElement (and the number that must be connected/added/removed at a time). The PhysicalElement whose configuration is described is identified using the ElementCapacity association, inherited from PhysicalCapacity. The object whose capacities are indicated (ie, the power supply or fan) is identified in the ObjectType and VendorCompatibilityStrings properties of this class. When ObjectType has a value of 25 (Multi-Purpose) then additional description of the object is provided in the VendorCompatibilityStrings property. Since the same min/max configurations can apply to multiple instances, this class is not defined as 'weak'. Examples of the use of the ConfigurationCapacity class are to describe that a 'control unit' Chassis may be connected to (at most) 4 other I/O chassis, or to describe what a StorageLibrary's cabinet may contain. Continuing the latter example, a particular StorageLibrary's cabinet might hold a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 9 TapeDrives, and a minimum of 88 and a maximum of 264 StorageMediaLocations ("Slots"). This information would be described in two instances of ConfigurationCapacity, both associated to the StorageLibrary's PhysicalPackage. This class does NOT represent the tradeoffs that are likely to be required of one resource for another. It simply represents capacities. In the case of the StorageLibrary, there may be only 2 valid configurations - 9 TapeDrives with 88 Slots, or 3 TapeDrives with 264 Slots. This class only conveys that 'up to' 9 Drives and 'up to' 264 slots may be available and are supported.

VendorCompatibilityStrings	string[]
			Description	string	An array of strings that identifies the compatibility of the elements within the configuration capacity. This allows vendors to provide information to the system administrators by providing sufficient information to request the appropriate hardware that can populate the configuration. In order to ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, each value defined by the vendor for use in the VendorCompatibilityStrings property 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 creating/defining the InstanceID, or is a registered ID that is assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority (This 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 re-used to identify different underlying (real-world) elements.
