Reference Guide

Property Description
NOTE: 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 Down and
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.
Stepping
Stepping is a free-form string that indicates the revision level of the Processor within the
Processor.Family.
SystemCreationClassName
The CreationClassName of the scoping system.
SystemName
The System Name of the scoping system.
TransitioningToState
Indicates the target state to which the instance is transitioning.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 2 = Enabled
• 3 = Disabled
• 4 = Shut Down
• 5 = No Change — Indicates that no transition is in progress.
• 6 = Offline
• 7 = Test
• 8 = Defer
• 9 = Quiesce
• 10 = Reboot
• 11 = Reset
• 12 = Not Applicable — Indicates the implementation does not support representing
ongoing transitions.
A value other than 5 or 12 identifies the state to which the element is in the process of
transitioning.
UniqueID
A global unique identifier for the processor. This identifier can be unique only within a
processor family.
UpgradeMethod
CPU socket information that includes data on how the processor can be upgraded (if
upgrades are supported). This property is an integer enumeration.
