Class CIM_Configuration
extends CIM_ManagedElement

The Configuration object allows the grouping of sets of parameters (defined in Setting objects) and dependencies for one or more ManagedSystemElements. The Configuration object represents a certain behavior, or a desired functional state for the ManagedSystemElements. The desired functional state is typically driven by external requirements such as time or location. For example, to connect to a Mail System from 'home', a dependency on a modem exists, but a dependency on a network adapter exists at 'work'. Settings for the pertinent LogicalDevices (in this example, POTSModem and NetworkAdapter) can be defined and aggregated by the Configuration. Therefore, two 'Connect to Mail' Configurations may be defined grouping the relevant dependencies and Setting objects.
