Property Description
• 7 = Non-Recoverable Error
• 8 = Starting
• 9 = Stopping
• 10 = Stopped — Implies a clean and orderly stop.
• 11 = In Service — Describes an element being configured, maintained, cleaned, or
otherwise administered.
• 12 = No Contact — Indicates that the monitoring system has knowledge of this
element, but has never been able to establish communications with it.
• 13 = Lost Communication — Indicates that the ManagedSystem Element is known to
exist and has been contacted successfully in the past, but is currently unreachable.
• 14 = Aborted — Implies an abrupt stop where the state and configuration of the
element may need to be updated.
• 15 = Dormant — Indicates that the element is inactive or quiesced.
• 16 = Supporting Entity in Error — Indicates that this element may be OK but that
another element, on which it is dependent, is in error. An example is a network service
or endpoint that cannot function due to lower-layer networking problems.
• 17 = Completed — Indicates that the element has completed its operation. This value
should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded so that a client can tell if the
complete operation Completed with OK (passed), Completed with Error (failed), or
Completed with Degraded (the operation finished, but it did not complete OK or did not
report an error).
• 18 = Power Mode — Indicates that the element has additional power model information
contained in the Associated PowerManagementService association.
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 0x8000.. = Vendor Reserved
OperationalStatus replaces the Status property on ManagedSystemElement to provide a
consistent approach to enumerations, to address implementation needs for an array
property, and to provide a migration path from today's environment to the future. This
change was not made earlier because it required the deprecated qualifier. Due to the
widespread use of the existing Status property in management applications, it is strongly
recommended that providers or instrumentation provide both the Status and
OperationalStatus properties. Further, the first value of OperationalStatus should contain
the primary status for the element. When instrumented, Status (because it is single-valued)
should also provide the primary status of the element.
OtherIdentifyingInfo
Captures additional data, beyond System Name information, that could be used to identify a
ComputerSystem. One example would be to hold the Fibre Channel World-Wide Name
(WWN) of a node.
NOTE: If only the Fibre Channel name is available and is unique (able to be
used as the System key), then this property would be NULL and the WWN
would become the System key, its data placed in the Name property.
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.
Possible values are:
