class LMIClass.LMIClass(conn, namespace, classname)

LMI wrapper class representing CIMClass.

Parameters:

• conn (LMIConnection) – connection object
• namespace (LMINamespace) – namespace object

create_instance(properties=None, qualifiers=None, property_list=None)

Creates a new CIMInstance at the server side and returns LMIReturnValue object containing LMIInstance as a result.

Parameters:

• properties (dictionary) – initial properties with corresponding values
