<p class="MsoNormal">This paper describes the process that system manufacturers
(OEMs) can use to provide instrumentation information by including ACPI objects
in the systems they build that will be recognized by Microsoft® Windows®
Management Instrumentation (WMI). This information applies for Windows&nbsp;2000 and
Windows&nbsp;98 OSR 1. By including ACPI objects in the systems they build, OEMs can
take advantage of a generic mapping driver that allows WMI to make the
information available to the instrumentation consumers.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The ACPI subsystem contains a wealth of instrumentation
information; OEMs are encouraged to use ACPI to add additional platform specific
instrumentation information. However, ACPI objects are not readily accessible by
instrumentation data consumers such as Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM).

mapping under Windows operating systems and the Data Block GUID Mapping control

<p class="MsoNormal">The ACPI-to-WMI mapping functionality is achieved by means
of two device drivers provided with the Windows&nbsp;2000 and Windows&nbsp;98 OSR1
operating systems: </p>

</span></span>Wmiacpi.sys registers with Plug and Play ID PNP0c14. </p>
<p class="Le">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">OEMs can differentiate their PC system capabilities by
writing ACPI Source Language (ASL) code and a Managed Object Format (.mof or MOF)
file. The .mof file can be in the BIOS or on disk. For more information about
MOF, see the “MOF Data Types” section later in this paper.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">ASL code is never executed directly by the Wmiacpi.sys
driver. ASL code is always executed by the Acpi.sys driver (see the ASL
information at http://www.teleport.com/~acpi/). Wmiacpi.sys will invoke Acpi.sys
to call control methods that access the management data exposed by the mapping
driver.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Microsoft does not ship a .mof file that is associated with
the Wmiacpi.sys driver. The only information surfaced through ACPI is the
temperature zone information, which is surfaced through and associated with the
Acpi.sys device driver. </p>

<h1><a name="_Toc440694667">WMI Overview</a> for Windows&nbsp;2000 Instrumentation</h1>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">WMI organizes individual data items (properties) into data
blocks (structures) that contain related information. Data blocks may have one
or more data items. Each data item has a unique index within the data block, and
each data block is named by a globally unique 128-bit number called a globally
unique identifier (GUID). WMI can provide notifications to the data producer as
to when to start and stop collecting the data items that compose a data block.
WMI has no knowledge of the data format for individual data blocks.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">WMI functionality allows for querying all instances of a
data block or a single instance of a data block. It also allows for setting all
data items in an instance of a data block or a single data item within a single
instance of a data block.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In addition to queries and sets, WMI allows WMI method
calls, which are functionally equivalent to an I/O control (IOCTL) call to a
device. Each WMI method call is identified by a GUID and a method index for that
GUID. All WMI method calls use one buffer for input and output parameters. WMI
allows notifications of significant events to be delivered to interested
user-mode applications. Each type of event is uniquely named by a GUID. Events
may also carry a data block with additional information about the event. WMI can
provide notifications to the event generator about when to enable and disable an
event type.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">WMI is an open architecture that allows OEMs to define
their own data blocks, methods, and events. Along with the data that composes
the custom data block, the OEM must also provide a description that generally
represents how a data block or WMI method is mapped to a 2-character ID. This
2&#8209;character ID is part of the names of the control methods that act upon the
data block. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For example, when a call is made to query about the data
block represented by a WMI GUID, the mapper will evaluate the WQ<i>xx</i>
control method (where <i>xx</i> is the 2-character ID mapped to that GUID).
These mappings are defined by the ACPI code and obtained by the mapper
evaluating the _WDG control method. For more information, see “ACPI Control
Method Naming Conventions and Functionality” later in this paper.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The mapping process is similar for events. The _WDG control
method provides a mapping between the WMI event GUID that represents the event
and the notification code specified in the ASL notify instruction. For example,
when ACPI provides a callback to the mapper that a control method executed a <b>
notify(mapper-device, 0x81)</b><i> </i>function<i>,</i> the mapper will look up
the WMI GUID mapped to 0x81 and use this WMI GUID in building the WMI event.
Before launching the WMI event, the mapper will evaluate _WED to retrieve any
additional data that belongs with the event.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a name="_Toc409597061"><b>Loading the Mapping Driver</b></a><b>.
</b>The Plug and Play ID PNP0c14 is assigned as the WMI-mapping pseudo device;
the operating system device INFs (Plug and Play ID-to-device driver lookup
table) point this Plug and Play ID to the ACPI-to-WMI mapping driver. To cause
the ACPI-to-WMI mapping driver to load, an ACPI system needs to define one or
more devices with that Plug and Play ID in the ACPI device tree. Each device
declared in the ACPI device tree would have its own operating system device
object with its own set of mappings. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In this way, different sets of data blocks can be organized
in the appropriate place within the device tree. This organization allows the
different devices and their corresponding data blocks to come and go from the
ACPI device tree. Note that if there are multiple WMI-mapping pseudo devices in
the ACPI device tree, each device must have a unique value for its _UID.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a name="_Toc409597062"><b>Mapping Driver Functionality</b></a><b>.
</b>Essentially the mapping driver will do the following:</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">These goals are achieved by having supporting code in the

</span></span>To provide interfaces specifically for SMBIOS data and functions.
The mapper is an open architecture that is not restricted to SMBIOS data and
functionality.</p>
<p class="Le">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a name="_Toc440962623"><b>How SMBIOS-provided information
is handled</b></a><b>. </b>Vendors who want to provide OEM and system-specific
instrumentation data may choose to use SMBIOS as the mechanism. To use the
capabilities of the WMI infrastructure to surface this SMBIOS data, they must
conform to any SMBIOS version between 2.0 and 2.2. (Microsoft intends to support
future revisions of SMBIOS as and when they appear. To date, we have only one
SMBIOS 2.2 machine for testing). This allows the Microsoft Win32<span style="font-size: 8.0pt">®</span>
provider—which is shipped with Windows&nbsp;2000 and future versions of Windows and
is available as an update to Windows&nbsp;98—to populate almost all of the SMBIOS-provided
information into the CIMv2 namespace. In particular, almost all of the
information is put into Win32 classes. Some of these Win32 classes are derived
from the CIMv2.1 physical MOF. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The one exception where SMBIOS information will not be
automatically populated by the Win32 provider into the CIMv2 namespace is SMBIOS
vendor-specific data. Such SMBIOS vendor-defined data will be placed in a
“VendorBucket” class in a “Root\VendorDefined” namespace, and will not be
available in the CIMv2 namespace by default. Any system vendor who wants to
provide such data must write a provider that will interpret this data.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The SMBIOS data is read only once, either at boot time in
Windows&nbsp;2000 or post boot on Windows&nbsp;98. Dynamic updates that are made to the
SMBIOS data after it has been read will not be reflected in the namespaces in
this implementation. Microsoft is working with the industry to define standard
ACPI methods for dynamic updates.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The SMBIOS raw data will be available as a WMI data block
in Windows&nbsp;2000 and as a flat file in Windows&nbsp;98. This data will be interpreted
and populated into the namespaces by the Win32 provider.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Note:</b> The Win32 provider capabilities used to read
and populate SMBIOS data as described above will be available in Windows&nbsp;2000
Beta 3.</p>

</span></span>Data items that are strings must be segregated into their own data

<p class="MsoListBullet"><span style="font-family: Symbol">·<span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7.0pt; font-family: Times New Roman">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</span></span>Data items that can be set individually should be segregated into
their own data blocks. For example, a set of data items that must be set all at
the same time can be combined into a single data block.</p>
<p class="Le">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a name="_Toc409597076"><b>MOF</b></a><b> Data Types. </b>
The Managed Object Format (MOF) for the data blocks implemented can be supplied
as either a resource attached to a file or as the buffer that results from the
evaluation of a control method. To establish the former, either bind the
resource to the Wmiacpi.sys image or establish a REG_EXPAND_SZ registry value
named <b>MofImagePath</b> under the WMIACPI service key. The contents of the
value is a path to the image file that contains the resource. In either case,
the resource must be named <b>MofResourceName</b>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The buffer resulting from the evaluation of the WQ<i>xx</i>
control method assigned to the binary MOF GUID describes all data blocks, WMI
methods, and events for the device in a compressed binary format. This binary
data is created by building a text file using the MOF language and compiling it
with the MOF compiler.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">MOF data types are very rich. MOF supports the basic data
types of 8-, 16-, 32-, and 64-bit signed and unsigned integers, Boolean terms,
floating points, strings, and UTC datetimes. Embedded classes—that is,
structures that can contain basic data types and other embedded classes—are also
supported. In addition, fixed and variable length arrays of basic data types and
embedded classes are supported. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>

following table.</p>

<p class="Def1"><span style="layout-grid-mode: line">By looking in the WMI
namespace of the schema.</span></p>
<p class="Term1"><span style="layout-grid-mode: line">Is the following true?
Because very few ACPI standards exist for instrumentation, most of the ACPI
instrumented features will appear differently on each vendor’s product, and
management applications will have to be “taught” to interpret the varying
classes and methods.</span></p>
<p class="Def1"><span style="layout-grid-mode: line">Microsoft is looking at
standardizing this. Any suggestions are appreciated.</span></p>
<p class="Term1"><span style="layout-grid-mode: line">Who provides the .mof
files for standard ACPI features such as thermal monitoring?</span></p>
<p class="Def1"><span style="layout-grid-mode: line">Windows&nbsp;2000 has a .mof
file for thermal zone temperature as part of the operating system and
instruments it within Acpi.sys, outside of the mapper.</span></p>
<p class="Def1"><span style="layout-grid-mode: line">Typically, .mof files are
compiled into .bmf files and attached to a driver as a resource. The .bmf files
can be in the ROM or on disk. WMI determines the location of the .mof
information by looking at the registry for the <b>MofImagePath</b> value under
the WMIACPI service. If this does not exist, then WMI looks at the <b>ImagePath</b>
value. If Wmiacpi.sys does not have a .mof resource, then WMI will query the
binary .mof GUID for the .mof information.</span></p>
<p class="Def1"><span style="layout-grid-mode: line">A driver may have a static
list of pre-built .mof files; if so, it can “dynamically” report one of them.
The mechanism is to report the file using a predefined GUID that returns a
binary .mof.</span></p>
<p class="Def1"><span style="layout-grid-mode: line">To dynamically build a .mof
file, a driver would have to build a .mof file and then launch the .mof
compiler, which is difficult. Currently, to do this on the machine running
Wmiacpi.sys, the <b>mofcomp</b> command can be used to load the .mof file
directly into the CIMOM database. </span></p>
