Property Description
NOTE: The Name property of ManagedSystemElement is also defined as a
user-friendly name. But, it is often subclassed to be a Key. It is not reasonable
that the same property can convey both identity and a user-friendly name,
without inconsistencies. Where Name exists and is not a Key (such as for
instances of LogicalDevice), the same information can be present in both the
Name and ElementName properties.
EnabledDefault
An enumerated value indicating an administrator's default or startup configuration for the
Enabled State of an element.
Possible values are:
• 2 = Enabled
• 3 = Disabled
• 5 = Not Applicable
• 6 = Enabled but Offline
• 7 = No Default
• 9 = Quiesce
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
By default, the element is Enabled (value = 2).
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,
processes any queued commands, and queues new requests.
• 3 = Disabled — Indicates that the element will not run commands and drops any new
requests.
• 4 = Shutting Down — Indicates that the element is in the process of going to a Disabled
state.
• 5 = Not Applicable — Indicates that the element does not support being enabled or
disabled.
• 6 = Enabled but Offline — Indicates that the element may be completing commands,
and drops 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 queues
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
Name
The Name property uniquely identifies the Service and provides an indication of the
functionality that is managed. This functionality is described in more detail in the Description
property of the object.
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 that the last requested state for the element is unknown.
