MSFT_PhysicalDisk: Properties and Media Types
Introduction
The MSFT_PhysicalDisk class provides information about physical disk devices in a computer system. This blog post will explore the properties of this class and discuss the media types available for physical disks.
Properties of MSFT_PhysicalDisk
The MSFT_PhysicalDisk class has the following properties: * **Name:** The name of the physical disk. * **DeviceID:** The device ID of the physical disk. * **DriveLetter:** The drive letter of the physical disk. * **DiskSize:** The size of the physical disk in bytes. * **MediaType:** The media type of the physical disk.
Media Types
The MediaType property of the MSFT_PhysicalDisk class indicates the type of media used by the physical disk. The following media types are available: * **Unknown** * **Harddisk** * **Optical** * **SolidStateDisk** * **DVD** * **CD** * **BluRay**
Updating Physical Disk Attributes
The MSFT_Disk class provides a method called SetAttributes that can be used to update the attributes of a physical disk. The following code sample shows how to use this method to update the MediaType property of a physical disk:
import wmi c = wmi.WMI() disks = c.MSFT_PhysicalDisk() for disk in disks: if disk.MediaType == "Unknown": disk.SetAttributes(MediaType="Harddisk") disk.Put()
Conclusion
The MSFT_PhysicalDisk and MSFT_Disk classes provide a comprehensive set of properties and methods for managing physical disk devices in a computer system. By understanding the properties of these classes and the available media types, administrators can effectively manage and maintain their storage devices.
