This class provides basic computer system information such as computer name, and status information. A provider instruments this class so that it can be used by client applications to identify the managed system on which the provider is running (typically a server or an application).

The following properties are common for eServer™:

string Caption

Always set to IBM z/OS Computer System.

string Description

Always set to This is an IBMzOS_ComputerSystem.

string ElementName

Returns IBM:model

string Name [key]

The fully qualified IP host name.

string CreationClassName [key]

Always set to IBMzOS_ComputerSystem

string NameFormat

Describes the format used to build the Name property. Always set to IP.

uint16 Dedicated[]

Indicates whether this is a special purpose system. Always set to 0 (not dedicated).

string UUID

The universally unique identifier of the server. For z/OS, no value is supplied for this property, but it is maintained for compatibility with the other IBM eServer platforms.

string HostingSystemName

A name that identifies the underlying hosting system in a virtualized environment. Returns Elementname + serialnumber.

string HostingSystemNameFormat

The name format used for HostingSystemName. Always returns Other.

The following properties have data that may be specific to z/OS, or may map to z/OS specific attributes.

string LPARName

Name of the zSeries® logical partition that makes up the computer system. If not running in LPAR mode, a blank string is returned here.

string VMGuestID

z/VM® user ID of the virtual machine, of which the current z/OS image is a guest. If z/OS is not running as a guest under z/VM, a blank string is returned here.

string CPUID

String containing the readable part of the serial number concatenated with the model number.

string SerialNumber

IBM allocated number used to identify the server on which this computer system is running.

string MachineType

Processor family of this z/OS server.

string Model

Model number of the server.

string Manufacturer

The name of the company that produced the server.

uint16 LPARid

Logical partition number. This number distinguishes the configuration from all other level-2 configurations provided by the same LPAR hypervisor.

string Plant

Plant of manufacturer for the CPU.
