Property Description
PossibleStates
Enumerates the string outputs of the Sensor. For example, a Switch Sensor may output
the states On, or Off. Another implementation of the Switch may output the states Open,
and Close. Another example is a NumericSensor supporting thresholds. This Sensor can
report the states like
Normal, Upper Fatal, Lower Non-Critical, and so on. A
NumericSensor that does not publish readings and thresholds, but stores this data
internally, can still report its states.
PrimaryStatus
Provides a high level status value, intended to align with Red-Yellow-Green type
representation of status. It should be used in conjunction with DetailedStatus to provide
high level and detailed health status of the ManagedElement and its subcomponents.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown — Indicates the implementation is in general capable of returning this
property, but is unable to do so at this time.
• 1 = OK — Indicates the ManagedElement is functioning normally.
• 2 = Degraded — Indicates the ManagedElement is functioning below normal.
• 3 = Error — Indicates the ManagedElement is in an Error condition.
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 0x8000.. = Vendor Reserved
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.
Unknown
(0) indicates the last requested state for the element is unknown.
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). Offline (6) indicates that the element has been
requested to transition to the Enabled but Offline EnabledState. There are two
new values in RequestedState that build on the statuses of EnabledState.
These are Reboot (10) and Reset (11). Reboot refers to doing a Shut Downand
then moving to an Enabled state. Reset indicates that the element is first
Disabled and then Enabled.
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 defined 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.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 2 = Enabled
• 3 = Disabled
• 4 = Shut Down
• 5 = No Change
• 6 = Offline
• 7 = Test
• 8 = Deferred
• 9 = Quiesce
