Passing a Class to the Association Methods

To specify the name of a class, you specify its model path. The model path includes the class's namespace, class name, and keys. A key is a property or set of properties that uniquely identify managed resource. Key properties are marked with the key qualifier. The following example shows a sample model path:

\\myserver\\root\cimv2\Solaris_ComputerSystem.Name=
mycomputer: CreationClassName=Solaris_ComputerSystem

This model path specifies the following values:

• \\myserver\root\cimv2 is the default CIM namespace on host myserver.

• Solaris_ComputerSystem is the name of the class from which the instance is derived.

• Name=mycomputer, CreationClassName=Solaris_ComputerSystem are two key properties in the format key property=value.
