class lmi.shell.LMIClass.LMIClass(conn, namespace, classname)

LMI wrapper class representing CIMClass.

Parameters:

• conn (LMIConnection) – connection object
• namespace (LMINamespace) – namespace object
• classname (string) – CIM class name

classname

Returns:class name Return type:string

fetch(full_fetch=False)

Manually fetches a wrapped CIMClass object.

Parameters:full_fetch (bool) – True, if CIMClass should include qualifiers and class origin. Default value is False. Raises :pywbem.CIMError, pywbem.AuthError

Usage: See Fetching a class.

first_instance(inst_filter=None, **kwargs)

Returns the first LMIInstance of the corresponding class.

Parameters:

• inst_filter (dictionary) – filter values, where the key corresponds to the key of CIMInstance; value contains the filtering value.
• client_filtering (bool) – if True, client-side filtering will be performed, otherwise the filtering will be done by a CIMOM. Default value is False.
• kwargs (dictionary) –

  deprecated keyword arguments

  • Key or key – filtering key, see above
  • Value or value – filtering value, see above

Returns:

first LMIInstance object

Usage: See Get Instances and Filtering.

first_instance_name(inst_filter=None, **kwargs)

Returns the first LMIInstanceName of the corresponding class.

Parameters:

• inst_filter (dictionary) – filter values, where the key corresponds to the primary key of CIMInstanceName; value contains the filtering value
• kwargs (dictionary) –

  deprecated keyword arguments

  • Key or key (string) – filtering key, see above
  • Value or value – filtering value, see above

Returns:

first LMIInstanceName object

Usage: See Get Instance Names and Filtering.

instance_names(self_wr, *args, **kwargs)

Returns a LMIReturnValue containing a list of LMIInstanceNames.

Parameters:

• inst_filter (dictionary) – filter values. The key corresponds to the primary key of the CIMInstanceName; value contains the filtering value
• kwargs (dictionary) –

  deprecated keyword arguments

  • Key or key (string) – filtering key, see above
  • Value or value – filtering value, see above

Returns:

LMIReturnValue object with rval set to a list of LMIInstanceName objects

Usage: See Get Instance Names and Filtering.

instances(self_wr, *args, **kwargs)

Returns a list of objects of LMIInstance.

Parameters:

• inst_filter (dictionary) – filter values, where the key corresponds to the key of CIMInstance; value contains the filtering value
• client_filtering (bool) – if True, client-side filtering will be performed, otherwise the filtering will be done by a CIMOM. Default value is False.
• kwargs (dictionary) –

  deprecated keyword arguments

  • Key or key (string) – filtering key, see above
  • Value or value – filtering value, see above

Returns:

list of LMIInstance objects

Usage: See Get Instances and Filtering.

is_fetched(full_fetch=False)

Returns True, if CIMClass has been fetched.

Parameters:full_fetch (bool) – defines, if qualifiers are also included

namespace

Returns:namespace name Return type:string

new_instance_name(keybindings)

Create new LMIInstanceName object by passing all the

keys/values of the object.

Parameters:keybindings (dictionary) – primary keys of instance name with corresponding values Returns:new LMIInstanceName object

Usage: See New Instance Name.
