Description

The CIM_DiskDrive class represents a physical disk drive as seen by the operating system. The features of the drive seen through this object correspond to the logical and management characteristics of the drive and, in some cases may not reflect the actual physical characteristics of the device. Any interface to a physical drive is a member of this class. Any object based on another logical device would not be a member of this class. Example: IDE Fixed Disk.

Detailed description of CIM_DiskDrive methods

Derived methods (2) of CIM_DiskDrive class

Reset method
Returnuint32 {'out':True}
Description'Requests a reset of the logical device. The return value should be 0 if the request was successfully executed, 1 if the request is not supported and some other value if an error occurred.'
Reset method is in 104 classes of ROOT\CIMV2\ms_409 and in 19 namespaces
SetPowerState method
Returnuint32 {'out':True}
Parameters
NameCIMTypeIDINOUTQualifiers
PowerStateuint160-{'Values':['Full Power', 'Power Save - Low Power Mode', 'Power Save - Standby', 'Power Save - Other', 'Power Cycle', 'Power Off']}
Timedatetime1-
Description'SetPowerState defines the desired power state for a logical device and when a device should be put into that state. The desired power state is specified by setting the PowerState parameter to one of the following integer values: 1="Full Power", 2="Power Save - Low Power Mode", 3="Power Save - Standby", 4="Power Save - Other", 5="Power Cycle" or 6="Power Off". The Time parameter (for all state changes, except 5, "Power Cycle") indicates when the power state should be set, either as a regular date-time value or as an interval value (where the interval begins when the method invocation is received). When the PowerState parameter is equal to 5, "Power Cycle", the Time parameter indicates when the device should power on again. Power off is immediate. SetPowerState should return 0 if successful, 1 if the specified PowerState and Time request is not supported, and some other value if any other error occurred. In a subclass, the set of possible return codes could be specified, using a ValueMap qualifier on the method. The strings to which the ValueMap contents are 'translated' may also be specified in the subclass as a Values array qualifier.'
SetPowerState method is in 105 classes of ROOT\CIMV2\ms_409 and in 14 namespaces

Detailed description of CIM_DiskDrive properties

Derived properties (29) of CIM_DiskDrive class

Availability property
CIMTYPE'uint16'
Description'The availability and status of the device. For example, the Availability property indicates that the device is running and has full power (value=3), or is in a warning (4), test (5), degraded (10) or power save state (values 13-15 and 17). Regarding the power saving states, these are defined as follows: Value 13 ("Power Save - Unknown") indicates that the device is known to be in a power save mode, but its exact status in this mode is unknown; 14 ("Power Save - Low Power Mode") indicates that the device is in a power save state but still functioning, and may exhibit degraded performance; 15 ("Power Save - Standby") describes that the device is not functioning but could be brought to full power 'quickly'; and value 17 ("Power Save - Warning") indicates that the device is in a warning state, though also in a power save mode.'
Values['Other', 'Unknown', 'Running/Full Power', 'Warning', 'In Test', 'Not Applicable', 'Power Off', 'Off Line', 'Off Duty', 'Degraded', 'Not Installed', 'Install Error', 'Power Save - Unknown', 'Power Save - Low Power Mode', 'Power Save - Standby', 'Power Cycle', 'Power Save - Warning', 'Paused', 'Not Ready', 'Not Configured', 'Quiesced']
