Property Description
ErrorDescription
The use of this method is deprecated. Deprecated description: ErrorDescription is a free-
form string that supplies more information about the error recorded in LastErrorCode and
information on any corrective actions that can be taken.
HealthState
Indicates the current health of the element. This attribute expresses the health of this
element but not necessarily that of its subcomponents.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown — The implementation cannot report on HealthState at this time. DMTF
has reserved the unused portion of the continuum for additional HealthStates in the
future.
• 5 = OK — The element is fully functional and is operating within normal operational
parameters and without error.
• 10 = Degraded/Warning — The element is in working order and all functionality is
provided. However, the element is not working to the best of its abilities. For example,
the element may not be operating at optimal performance or it may be reporting
recoverable errors.
• 15 = Minor failure — All functionality is available but some may be degraded.
• 20 = Major failure — The element is failing. It is possible that some or all of the
functionality of this component is degraded or not working.
• 25 = Critical failure — The element is non-functional and recovery may not be possible.
• 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.
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
