The CIM_Dependency class is an association used to establish dependency relationships between two managed system elements. CIM_Dependency shown in Figure 5-1 does not have a parent class because it is a relationship or association between two elements.

Figure 5-1. CIM_Dependency Class Structure

Each class derived from CIM_Dependency has an element called an antecedent that represents the independent object in this association, and another element called a dependent that represents the object that is dependent on the antecedent. For example, consider two managed system elements: Chassis1 and PowerSupply3. Chassis1 is the antecedent element because a managed power supply would always be either contained in, or grouped with, a chassis.

DELL_FanSensor

The DELL_FanSensor class described in Table 5-1 defines a Dell-specific association between a fan and a sensor. The CIM_PackageFanSensor class contains fans that assist in cooling the entire package as opposed to a fan that is dedicated to cooling only some of the components in the package.

Table 5-1. DELL_FanSensor Properties 

CIM_PackageTempSensor

The CIM_PackageTempSensor class listed in Table 5-2 contains temperature sensors that are often installed in a package such as a chassis or a rack to assist in the monitoring of the package in general. This relationship is described by the CIM_PackageTempSensor association.

Table 5-2. CIM_PackageTempSensor Properties 

CIM_PackageVoltSensor

The CIM_PackageVoltSensor identified in Table 5-3 contains voltage sensors that are often installed in a package such as a chassis or a rack to assist in the monitoring of the package in general. This relationship is described by the CIM_PackageVoltSensor association.

Table 5-3. CIM_PackageVoltage Properties 

CIM_PackageCurrentSensor

The CIM_PackageCurrentSensor shown in Table 5-4 contains amperage sensors that are often installed in a package such as a chassis or a rack to assist in the monitoring of the package in general. This relationship is described by the CIM_PackageCurrentSensor association.

Table 5-4. CIM_PackageCurrentSensor Properties 

CIM_PackageFanSensor

The CIM_PackageFanSensor class described in Table 5-5 contains fan sensors that monitor the whole package.

Table 5-5. CIM_PackageFanSensor Properties 

CIM_PackagePowerSupplySensor

The CIM_PackagePowerSupplySensor class described in Table 5-6 contains power supplies that provide power to the whole package.

Table 5-6. CIM_PackagePowerSupplySensor Properties 

DELL_PackagePSRedundancy

The DELL_PackagePSRedundancy class listed in Table 5-7 defines what constitutes power supply redundancy for an entire package.

Table 5-7. DELL_PackagePSRedundancy Properties 

DELL_PSRedundancy

The DELL_PSRedundancy class shown in Table 5-8 defines what constitutes power supply redundancy for Dell™ systems.
