Property Description
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 Offline — 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
HealthState
Indicates the current health of the element. This attribute expresses the health of this
element but not necessarily that of its subcomponents.
DMTF has reserved the unused portion of the continuum for additional HealthStates in the
future.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown — The implementation cannot report on HealthState at this time.
• 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
InstanceID
Within the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and uniquely
identifies an instance of this class. To ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value
of InstanceID should be constructed using the following preferred algorithm:
<OrgID> : <LocalID>
Where <OrgID> and <LocalID> are separated by a colon (:), and where <OrgID> must
include a copyrighted, trademarked, or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business
entity that is creating or defining the InstanceID or that is a registered ID assigned to the
business entity by a recognized global authority. (This requirement is similar to the <Schema
Name>_<Class Name> structure of Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure uniqueness,
<OrgID> must not contain a colon (:). When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in
InstanceID must appear between <OrgID> and <LocalID> . <LocalID> is chosen by the
business entity and should not be reused to identify different underlying (real-world)
