Reference Guide

Property Description
• 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 defined.
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 qualifier. 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 first 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 configured, 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 configuration 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 finished, 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
