Property Description
• 6 = Enabled but Oine
• 7 = No Default
• 9 = Quiesce
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
EnabledState
An integer enumeration that indicates the enabled and disabled states of an element. It can
also indicate the transitions between these requested states. For example, shutting down
(value = 4) and starting (value = 10) are transient states between enabled and disabled.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = Other
• 2 = Enabled — Indicates that the element is or could be executing commands, will
process any queued commands, and queues new requests.
• 3 = Disabled — Indicates that the element will not execute commands and will drop any
new requests.
• 4 = Shutting Down — Indicates that the element is in the process of going to a Disabled
state.
• 5 = Not Applicable — Indicates the element does not support being enabled or disabled.
• 6 = Enabled but Oine — Indicates that the element may be completing commands,
and will drop any new requests.
• 7 = In Test — Indicates that the element is in a test state.
• 8 = Deferred — Indicates that the element may be completing commands, but will
queue any new requests.
• 9 = Quiesce — Indicates that the element is enabled but in a restricted mode.
• 10 = Starting — Indicates that the element is in the process of going to an Enabled
state. New requests are queued.
• 11..32767 = DMTF Reserved
• 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
Name
The Name property denes the label by which the object is known. When subclassed, the
Name property can be overridden to be a Key property.
RequestedState
An integer enumeration that indicates the last requested or desired state for the element,
irrespective of the mechanism through which it was requested. 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.
