Every MIF file must contain a standard group with ID 1. This group offers baselevel identification of the component and represents the minimum amount of information, which a component vendor must provide. An attribute, which is not supported or has no meaning for a given component must give the keyword unsupported as its value.
The ComponentID. "DMTF|ComponentID|1.0" is the class string. The attributes in the group are all read-only. Their definitions are mentioned in the following table:
Integer Name

"Installation" | 5 | Date | Specific | Time and date of the last install of the component on this system. |
"Verify" | 6 | Integer | Common | Verification level for this component. |
Asking for the value of the "Verify" attribute causes the component instrumentation to perform checks to verify that the component is still in the system and working properly. One of the values mentioned in the following table must be returned:
