Hi, from now, there is a preferred way, how to filter instances and instance names by using a dictionary. The old means of filtering still works, as well. Examples (with networking provider): eth0 = cimv2.LMI_IPNetworkConnection.first_instance(key="Name", value="eth0") vs. eth0 = cimv2.LMI_IPNetworkConnection.first_instance({"Name" : "eth0"}) The main reason, why we switched to this is: there can be more filter elements present: active_ifs = cimv2.LMI_IPNetworkConnection.instances({"EnabledDefault" : 2, "OperatingStatus" : 16})

Cheers
