Property Description
OtherIdentifyingInfo
OtherIdentifyingInfo captures data, in addition to DeviceID information, that could be used
to identify a LogicalDevice. For example, you could use this property to hold the operating
system's user-friendly name for the Device.
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.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown — Indicates the last requested state for the element is unknown.
• 2 = Enabled
• 3 = Disabled
• 4 = Shut Down
• 5 = No Change
• 6 = Offline — Indicates that the element has been requested to transition to the
Enabled but Offline EnabledState.
• 7 = Test
• 8 = Deferred
• 9 = Quiesce
• 10 = Reboot — Refers to doing a Shut Down and then moving to an Enabled state.
• 11 = Reset — Indicates that the element is first Disabled and then Enabled
• 12 = Not Applicable
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
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.
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).
There are two new values in RequestedState that build on the statuses of EnabledState.
These are Reboot (10) and Reset (11).
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.
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
