10 CIM Profiles and Subprofiles
Element Counting Subprofile
The Element Counting Subprofile defines methods to count the number of physical tapes, storage media
locations, and other classes within a storage library (or other system type). Such methods allow clients to
avoid retrieving all instances of physical element classes simply to count them. Therefore, network traffic
will be saved between client applications and storage library providers. These methods are modeled by the
Configuration Reporting Service hosted by the storage library’s (or other system type’s) top-level Computer
System.
