Description (
"CIM_System represents an entity made up of component parts "
"(defined by the SystemComponent relationship), that operates "
"as a \'functional whole\'. Systems are top-level objects in "
"the CIM hierarchy, requiring no scoping or weak relationships "
"in order to exist and have context. It should be reasonable to "
"uniquely name and manage a System at an enterprise level. For "
"example, a ComputerSystem is a kind of System that can be "
"uniquely named and independently managed in an enterprise. "
"However, these qualities are not true for the power supply (or "
"the power supply sub-\'system\') within the computer. \n"
"\n"
"Although a System can be viewed as a Collection, this view is "
"not the correct model. A Collection is simply a \'bag\' that "
"\'holds\' its members. A System is a higher-level abstraction, "
"built out of its individual components. It is more than the "
"sum of its parts. Note that System is a subclass of "
"EnabledLogicalElement which allows the entire abstraction to "
"be functionally enabled or disabled at a higher level than "
"enabling or disabling its component parts." )]

[Key, Description (
"CreationClassName indicates the name of the class or the "
"subclass used in the creation of an instance. When used "
"with the other key properties of this class, this "
"property allows all instances of this class and its "
"subclasses to be uniquely identified." ),

"The inherited Name serves as the key of a System "
"instance in an enterprise environment." ),

string Name;
[Description (
"The System object and its derivatives are top-level "
"objects of CIM. They provide the scope for numerous "
"components. Having unique System keys is required. A "
"heuristic can be defined in individual System subclasses "
"to attempt to always generate the same System Name Key. "
"The NameFormat property identifies how the System name "
"was generated, using the heuristic of the subclass." ),

"The name of the primary system owner. The system owner "
"is the primary user of the system." ),

"A string that provides information on how the primary "
"system owner can be reached (for example, phone number, "
"e-mail address, and so on)." ),

[Write, Description (
"An array (bag) of strings that specifies the "
"administrator -defined roles this System plays in the "
"managed environment. Examples might be \'Building 8 "
"print server\' or \'Boise user directories\'. A single "
"system may perform multiple roles. \n"
"Note that the instrumentation view of the \'roles\' of a "
"System is defined by instantiating a specific subclass "
"of System, or by properties in a subclass, or both. For "
"example, the purpose of a ComputerSystem is defined "
"using the Dedicated and OtherDedicatedDescription "
"properties." )]
string Roles[];
[Description (
"OtherIdentifyingInfo captures additional data, beyond "
"System Name information, that could be used to identify "
"a ComputerSystem. One example would be to hold the Fibre "
"Channel World-Wide Name (WWN) of a node. Note that if "
"only the Fibre Channel name is available and is unique "
"(able to be used as the System key), then this property "
"would be NULL and the WWN would become the System key, "
"its data placed in the Name property." ),
