Class CIM_VirtualSystemSettingData
extends CIM_SettingData

CIM_VirtualSystemSettingData defines the virtual aspects of a virtual system through a set of virtualization specific properties. CIM_VirtualSystemSettingData is also used as the top level class of virtual system configurations. Virtual system configurations model configuration information about virtual systems and their components. A virtual system configuration consists of one top-level instance of class CIM_VirtualSystemSettingData that aggregates a number of instances of class CIM_ResourceAllocationSettingData, using association CIM_ConcreteComponent. Virtual system configurations may for example be used to reflect configurations of - virtual systems that are defined at a virtualization platform, - virtual systems that are currently active, - input requests to create new virtual systems, - input requests to modify existing virtual systems, or - snapshots of virtual systems.

NameData TypeDefault ValueQualifiers
NameData TypeValue
AutomaticRecoveryActionuint16
DescriptionstringAction 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.
ValueMapstring2, 3, 4, ..
ValuesstringNone, Restart, Revert to snapshot, DMTF Reserved
AutomaticShutdownActionuint16
DescriptionstringAction to take for the virtual system when the host is shut down.
ValueMapstring2, 3, 4, ..
ValuesstringTurn Off, Save state, Shutdown, DMTF Reserved
AutomaticStartupActionuint16
DescriptionstringAction to take for the virtual system when the host is started.
ValueMapstring2, 3, 4, ..
ValuesstringNone, Restart if previously active, Always startup, DMTF Reserved
AutomaticStartupActionDelaydatetime
DescriptionstringDelay applicable to startup action. The value shall be in the interval variant of the datetime datatype.
AutomaticStartupActionSequenceNumberuint16
DescriptionstringNumber 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.
ConfigurationDataRootstring
DescriptionstringFilepath of a directory where information about the virtual system configuration is stored.Format shall be URI based on RFC 2079.
ConfigurationFilestring
DescriptionstringFilepath 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.
ConfigurationIDstring
DescriptionstringUnique 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.
CreationTimedatetime
DescriptionstringTime when the virtual system configuration was created.
LogDataRootstring
DescriptionstringFilepath 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.
RecoveryFilestring
DescriptionstringFilepath of a file where recovery relateded information of the virtual system is stored.Format shall be URI based on RFC 2079.
SnapshotDataRootstring
DescriptionstringFilepath 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.
SuspendDataRootstring
DescriptionstringFilepath 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.
SwapFileDataRootstring
DescriptionstringFilepath 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.
VirtualSystemIdentifierstring
DescriptionstringVirtualSystemIdentifier 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.
VirtualSystemTypestring
DescriptionstringVirtualSystemType shall reflect a particular type of virtual system. Implementations are commonly capable to support various implementation defined virtual system types. 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.
Notesstring[]
DescriptionstringEnd-user supplied notes that are related to the virtual system.
