Hi,
Please see the attached current DMTF CIM v2.22 class, an
excellent source of bios/firmware/software details for IDS.
It has integer major, minor, revision, and build version numbers,
large build number, string version, manufacturer, serial number,
etc.
It also has fine-grained software classifications:
Values { "Unknown", "Other", "Driver",
"Configuration Software", "Application Software",
"Instrumentation", "Firmware/BIOS", "Diagnostic Software",
"Operating System", "Middleware", "Firmware",
"BIOS/FCode", "Support/Service Pack", "Software Bundle",
"DMTF Reserved", "Vendor Reserved" },
And an up-date list of target operating systems:
Values { "Unknown", "Other", "MACOS", "ATTUNIX", "DGUX",
"DECNT", "Tru64 UNIX", "OpenVMS", "HPUX", "AIX",
//10
"MVS", "OS400", "OS/2", "JavaVM", "MSDOS",
"WIN3x", "WIN95", "WIN98", "WINNT", "WINCE",
//20
"NCR3000", "NetWare", "OSF", "DC/OS",
"Reliant UNIX", "SCO UnixWare", "SCO OpenServer",
"Sequent", "IRIX", "Solaris", //30
...
//80
"RedHat Enterprise Linux 64-Bit",
"Solaris 64-Bit", "SUSE", "SUSE 64-Bit", "SLES",
"SLES 64-Bit", "Novell OES", "Novell Linux Desktop",
"Sun Java Desktop System", "Mandriva",
//90
"Mandriva 64-Bit", "TurboLinux",
"TurboLinux 64-Bit", "Ubuntu", "Ubuntu 64-Bit", "Debian",
"Debian 64-Bit", "Linux 2.4.x", "Linux 2.4.x 64-Bit",
"Linux 2.6.x", //100
"Linux 2.6.x 64-Bit",
"Linux 64-Bit", "Other 64-Bit",
"Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2" },
(much better than the usually out-of-date IANA OS registry)
Cheers,
- Ira
