Property Description
• 4 = Shut Down
• 5 = No Change
• 6 = Oine — Indicates that the element has been requested to transition to the Enabled
but Oine EnabledState.
• 7 = Test
• 8 = Deferred
• 9 = Quiesce
• 10 = Reboot — Refers to doing a Shut Down and then moving to an Enabled state.
• 11 = Reset — Indicates that the element is rst Disabled and then Enabled.
• 12 = Not Applicable
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
The actual state of the element is represented by EnabledState. This property is provided to
compare the last requested and current enabled or disabled states. Note that when
EnabledState is set to 5 (Not Applicable), then this property has no meaning. Refer to the
EnabledState property description for explanations of the values in the RequestedState
enumeration.
NOTE: The value No Change (5) has been deprecated instead of indicating the
last requested state is Unknown (0). If the last requested or desired state is
unknown, RequestedState should have the value Unknown (0), but may have the
value No Change (5).
There are two new values in RequestedState that build on the statuses of EnabledState.
These are Reboot (10) and Reset (11). Shut Down requests an orderly transition to the
Disabled state, and may involve removing power, to completely erase any existing state. The
Disabled state requests an immediate disabling of the element, such that it will not execute
or accept any commands or processing requests.
This property is set as the result of a method invocation (such as Start or StopService on
CIM_Service), or can be overridden and dened as WRITEable in a subclass. The method
approach is considered superior to a WRITEable property, because it allows an explicit
invocation of the operation and the return of a result code.
If knowledge of the last RequestedState is not supported for the EnabledLogicalElement, the
property is NULL or has the value 12 Not Applicable.
TransitioningToState
Indicates the target state to which the instance is transitioning.
• 0 = Unknown
• 2 = Enabled
• 3 = Disabled
• 4 = Shut Down
• 5 = No Change — ndicates that no transition is in progress.
• 6 = Oine
• 7 = Test
• 8 = Defer
• 9 = Quiesce
• 10 = Reboot
• 11 = Reset
• 12 = Not Applicable — Indicates the implementation does not support representing
ongoing transitions.
A value other than 5 or 12 identies the state to which the element is in the process of
transitioning.
