Property Description
• 30 = Non-recoverable error — The element has completely failed, and recovery is not
possible. All functionality provided by this element has been lost.
• .. = DMTF Reserved
OperationalStatus
Indicates the current statuses of the element. Various operational statuses are dened.
Many of the enumeration's values are self-explanatory. However, a few are not and are
described here in more detail.
Stressed, Predictive Failure, In Service, No Contact, Lost Communication, Stopped and
Aborted are similar, although the former , while the latter Dormant, Supporting Entity in
Error, Completed, Power Mode, OperationalStatus replaces the Status property on
ManagedSystemElement to provide a consistent approach to enumerations, to address
implementation needs for an array property, and to provide a migration path from today's
environment to the future. This change was not made earlier because it required the
deprecated qualier. Due to the widespread use of the existing Status property in
management applications, it is strongly recommended that providers or instrumentation
provide both the Status and OperationalStatus properties. Further, the rst value of
OperationalStatus should contain the primary status for the element. When instrumented,
Status (because it is single-valued) should also provide the primary status of the element.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = Other
• 2 = OK
• 3 = Degraded
• 4 = Stressed — Indicates that the element is functioning, but needs attention. Examples
of Stressed states are overload, overheated, and so on.
• 5 = Predictive Failure — Indicates that an element is functioning nominally but predicting
a failure in the near future.
• 6 = Error
• 7 = Non-Recoverable Error
• 8 = Starting
• 9 = Stopping
• 10 = Stopped — Implies a clean and orderly stop.
• 11 = In Service — Describes an element being congured, maintained, cleaned, or
otherwise administered.
• 12 = No Contact — Indicates that the monitoring system has knowledge of this element,
but has never been able to establish communications with it.
• 13 = Lost Communication — Indicates that the ManagedSystem Element is known to
exist and has been contacted successfully in the past, but is currently unreachable.
• 14 = Aborted — Implies an abrupt stop where the state and conguration of the element
may need to be updated.
• 15 = Dormant — Indicates that the element is inactive or quiesced.
• 16 = Supporting Entity in Error — Indicates that this element may be OK but that
another element, on which it is dependent, is in error. An example is a network service or
endpoint that cannot function due to lower-layer networking problems.
• 17 = Completed — Indicates that the element has completed its operation. This value
should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded so that a client can tell if the
complete operation Completed with OK (passed), Completed with Error (failed), or
Completed with Degraded (the operation nished, but it did not complete OK or did not
report an error).
• 18 = Power Mode — Indicates that the element has additional power model information
contained in the Associated PowerManagementService association.
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 0x8000.. = Vendor Reserved
PossibleStates
Enumerates the string outputs of the Sensor. For example, a Switch Sensor may output the
states On, or O. Another implementation of the Switch may output the states Open, and
