Failover Cluster Provider Reference

The WMI provider for failover clusters (defined in ClusWmi.mof) allows you to manage failover clusters through Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). This documentation assumes you are familiar with the concept of WMI and have experience writing WMI scripts and applications.

CIM_Cluster

A class derived from ComputerSystem that 'is made up of' two or more ComputerSystems which operate together as an atomic, functional whole to increase the performance, resources and/or RAS (Reliability, Availability and Serviceability) of the component ComputerSystems, related to some aspects of these ComputerSystems.

CIM_ClusteringService

TBD

The following syntax is simplified from MOF code and includes all inherited properties.

CIM_Component

A generic association used to establish 'part of' relationships between Managed System Elements. For example, the SystemComponent association defines parts of a System.

CIM_ComponentCS

A ComputerSystem can aggregate another ComputerSystem. This association can be used to model MPP Systems with workstation frontends, an I2O subsystem embedded in a UnitaryComputerSystem, or a System that splits functionality between two processors, potentially running different OperatingSystems.

CIM_ComputerSystem

A class derived from System that is a special collection of ManagedSystemElements. This collection provides compute capabilities and serves as aggregation point to associate one or more of the following elements: FileSystem, OperatingSystem, Processor and Memory (Volatile and/or NonVolatile Storage).

CIM_Dependency

CIM_Dependency is a generic association used to establish dependency relationships between objects.

CIM_HostedService

CIM_HostedService is an association between a Service and the System on which the functionality resides.

CIM_LogicalDevice

An abstraction or emulation of a hardware entity, that may or may not be Realized in physical hardware.

CIM_LogicalElement

CIM_LogicalElement is a base class for all the components of a System that represent abstract system components, such as Files, Processes, or system capabilities in the form of Logical Devices.

CIM_ManagedSystemElement

CIM_ManagedSystemElement is the base class for the System Element hierarchy. Membership Criteria: Any distinguishable component of a System is a candidate for inclusion in this class. Examples: software components, such as files; and devices, such as disk drives and controllers, and physical components such as chips and cards.

CIM_ParticipatingCS

A Cluster is composed of two or more ComputerSystems, operating together. A ComputerSystem may participate in multiple Clusters.

CIM_Service

A CIM_Service is a Logical Element that contains the information necessary to represent and manage the functionality provided by a Device and/or SoftwareFeature. A Service is a general-purpose object to configure and manage the implementation of functionality. It is not the functionality itself.

CIM_System

A CIM_System is a LogicalElement that aggregates an enumerable set of Managed System Elements. The aggregation operates as a functional whole. Within any particular subclass of System, there is a well-defined list of Managed System Element classes whose instances must be aggregated.

CIM_SystemComponent

CIM_SystemComponent is a specialization of the CIM_Component association that establishes 'part of' relationships between a System and the Managed System Elements of which it is composed.

CIM_SystemDevice

LogicalDevices may be aggregated by a System. This relationship is made explicit by the SystemDevice association.
