Class CIM_AdminDomain
extends CIM_System

This is a special grouping of ManagedSystemElements. The grouping is viewed as a single entity, reflecting that all of its components are administered similarly - either by the same user, group of users or policy. It serves as an aggregation point to associate one or more of the following elements: network devices, such as routers and switches, servers, and other resources that can be accessed by end systems. This grouping of devices plays an essential role in ensuring that the same administrative policy and actions are applied to all of the devices in the grouping. The specific behavior and/or semantics of the AdminDomain can be identified through its aggregated and associated entities. The System class and its subclasses provide the scope for numerous types of managed objects. As such, these classes must have the ability to create unique keys. This attribute is used by the System class and its subclasses to define a unique Name, independent of the specific discovery protocol used. Use of the heuristic is optional, but recommended. AdminDomain is a part of the Core model, which has frequently been used in the Networks Model to group together various network resources that must be administered the same way, perhaps using the same policies. Viewed in this light, its principal subclass is AutonomousSystem.

NameFormatstring
DescriptionstringThe NameFormat property identifies how the Name of the AdminDomain is generated, using the heuristic specified in the CIM V2 System Model spec. It assumes that the documented rules are traversed in order, to determine and assign a Name. The NameFormat Values list defines the precedence order for assigning the Name of the AdminDomain.None TRANSLATABLE= true
