Use the Devices attributes to create situations to obtain status and configuration information about all of the devices installed on the Windows Server. Devices is a multiple-instance attribute group. You cannot mix these attributes with those of any other multiple-instance attribute group.
Binary Path The fully qualified path to the device binary executable. Valid format is a text string of up to 64 characters. For example, \SystemRoot\System32\drivers\afd.sys indicates the path to the device binary executable.
Binary Path (Unicode) The fully qualified path to the device binary executable in UTF8. Valid format is a text string of up to 392 bytes.
Current State The current state of the device, which can be Stopped, Start Pending, Stop Pending, Running, Continue Pending, Paused Pending, or Paused. Valid format is a text string of up to 20 characters. For example, Running indicates that the device is currently running.
Device Name The internal name of the device in the Service Control Manager database. The maximum size of the text string is 256 bytes, but here it is truncated to 64 bytes.
Display Name The name of the driver as it is displayed in the Windows Service Control Manager applet. Valid format is a text string of up to 64 characters. For example, Cdrom is an example of a driver name.
Display Name (Unicode) The name of the driver as it is displayed in the Service Control Manager applet in UTF8. Valid format is a text string of up to 392 bytes.
Driver Object Name Specifies an object name. If the service is of type WIN32, this is the account name that the service uses to log on when it runs. If the service is type Kernel Driver or File System Driver, this is the Windows Server's driver object name that the I/O Manager uses to load the device driver. Valid format is a text string of up to 32 characters.
Load Order Group The name of the load ordering group of which this device is a member. Devices can be placed in groups so other devices can have dependencies on a group of devices. If the device is not in a load ordering group, this field is blank. Valid format is a text string of up to 64 characters. For example, SCSI CDROM Class is an example of a load order group.
Server Name The managed system name. The form should be hostname:agent_code.
Examples include spark:KNT or deux.raleigh.ibm.com:KNT.
In workspace queries, this attribute should be set equal to the value $NODE$ in order to populate the workspace with data. This attribute is generally not included in situations, unless there is a need to customize the situation for a specific managed system.
Timestamp The date and time the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server samples the data.
