Property Description
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
have the value 12 Not Applicable.
Status
A string indicating the current status of the object. Various
operational and non-operational statuses are dened. This property
is deprecated instead of OperationalStatus, which includes the
same semantics in its enumeration. This change is made for the
following reasons:
• Status is more correctly dened as an array. This denition
overcomes the limitation of describing status using a single
value, when it is really a multi-valued property (for example, an
element may be OK AND Stopped.
• A MaxLen of 10 is too restrictive and leads to unclear
enumerated values.
• The change to a uint16 data type was discussed when CIM V2.0
was dened. However, existing V1.0 implementations used the
string property and did not want to modify their code.
Therefore, Status was grandfathered into the Schema. Use of
the deprecated qualier allows the maintenance of the existing
property, but also permits an improved denition using
OperationalStatus.
Possible values are:
• OK
• Error
• Degraded
• Unknown
• Pred Fail
• Starting
• Stopping
• Service
• Stressed
• NonRecover
• No Contact
• Lost
• Comm
• Stopped
SubnetMask
The mask for the IPv4 address of this ProtocolEndpoint, if one is
dened.
