Example

Notes
Accessstring Describes whether the media is readable, writeable, or both.

Values are:
0=Unknown
1=Readable
2=Writeable
3=Both

Availabilityuint32 Indicates the availability and status of the device.

Values are:
1=Other
2=Unknown
3=Running/Full Power
4=Warning
5=In Test
6=Not Applicable
7=Power Off
8=Off Line
9=Off Duty
10=Degraded
11=Not Installed
12=Install Error
13=Power Save - Unknown
14=Power Save - Degraded
15=Power Save - Standby
16=Power Cycle

BlockSizeuint32 Megabytes. Indicates the size of the blocks that form the StorageExtent.
Bootableuint320A Boolean that indicates that the DiskPartition is labeled as bootable. This Boolean does not mean that an OperatingSystem is actually loaded on the partition.

Values are:
1=True
0=False

BootPartitionuint320Determines whether the partition is bootable.

Values are:
1=True
0=False

If the value is True, the partition is bootable.

Captionstring Describes the object. Maximum length is 64 characters.
Descriptionstring"Disk #0, Partition #1"Describes the object.
DeviceIDstring"Disk #0, Partition #1"Key. An address or other identifying information to uniquely name the LogicalDevice. Maximum length is 64 characters.
DiskIndexuint320Indicates the disk index number of the partition.
ErrorMethodologystring Describes the types of error detection and correction supported by the device.
GroupIDuint322Within one ResourceId (one SMS client), GroupID distinguishes one instance of a class from another. Objects with the same ResourceId and GroupID are “deltas” of one another, describing the same hardware inventory instance at different points in time. This is not a collectable property.
HiddenSectorsuint3263Indicates the number of hidden sectors in the partition.
Indexuint321Indicates the index number of the partition.
InstallDatedatetimeSee “Date and Time Formats” at the beginning of Appendix B.Indicates when the object was installed. The absence of a value does not indicate that the object is not installed.
Namestring"Disk #0,
Partition #1"
Defines the label that the object is known by. Maximum length is 256 characters.
NumberOfBlocksuint32 Indicates the total number of consecutive blocks of size BlockSize that form the StorageExtent.

To calculate the total size of StorageExtent, multiply BlockSize by NumberOfBlocks. If the BlockSize is 1, this property is the total size of the StorageExtent.

PowerManagementSupporteduint321A Boolean that indicates that the ComputerSystem and its running OperatingSystem support power management. This Boolean does not indicate whether power management features are currently enabled or if they are enabled, which features are supported.

Values are:
1=True
0=False

PrimaryPartitionuint32 A Boolean that indicates that the DiskPartition is labeled as the primary partition for a ComputerSystem.

Values are:

1=True
0=False

Purposestring Describes media, their uses, or both.
ResourceIduint3242Key. Inventory items with the same ResourceId were all discovered on the same SMS client. The ResourceId identifies the SMS client.

A ResourceId is an integer generated for the sake of SQL; it is not unique outside the site and should be used only for short-term querying purposes. It is not a collectable property.

RevisionIDuint321Objects with the same ResourceId and GroupID are deltas, differentiated from one another by RevisionID number. The highest number is the most recent update. This is not a collectable property.
RewritePartitionuint321Determines whether the partition is rewriteable.

Values are:
1=True
0=False

If the value is True, the partition is rewriteable.

Sizeuint321005Megabytes. Indicates the total size of the partition.
StartingOffsetuint3232256Indicates the starting offset, in bytes, of the partition.
Statusstring"OK"Indicates the current status of the object.

Values are:
OK
Error
Degraded
Unknown

Maximum length is 10 characters.

StatusInfostring"3"Indicates the statue of the LogicalDevice.

Values are:
1=Other
2=Unknown
3=Enabled
4=Disabled
5=Not Applicable

SystemNamestring"SMSDELLPE1"Indicates the scoping system’s name. Maximum length is 256 characters.
TimeStampdatetimeSee “Date and Time Formats” at the beginning of Appendix B.Indicates when the information in this object was last revised. This is not a collectable property.
Typestring"FAT"Indicates the type of the partition.
