Property Description
• 7 = In Test — Indicates that the element is in a
test state.
• 8 = Deferred — Indicates that the element may
be completing commands, but will queue 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
ErrorMethodology
ErrorMethodology for Memory is a string property
that indicates whether parity or CRC algorithms,
ECC or other mechanisms are used. Details on the
algorithm can also be supplied.
FailOverState
An integer enumeration indicating that active
memory has failed and the spare or backup
memory may have taken over.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = Other
• 2 = None
• 3 = Active
HealthState
Indicates the current health of the element. This
attribute expresses the health of this element but
not necessarily that of its subcomponents.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown — The implementation cannot
report on HealthState at this time. DMTF has
reserved the unused portion of the continuum
for additional HealthStates in the future.
• 5 = OK — The element is fully functional and is
operating within normal operational parameters
and without error.
• 10 = Degraded/Warning — The element is in
working order and all functionality is provided.
However, the element is not working to the
best of its abilities. For example, the element
may not be operating at optimal performance
or it may be reporting recoverable errors.
• 15 = Minor failure — All functionality is available
but some may be degraded.
• 20 = Major failure — The element is failing. It is
possible that some or all of the functionality of
this component is degraded or not working.
• 25 = Critical failure — The element is non-
functional and recovery may not be possible.
• 30 = Non-recoverable error — The element has
completely failed, and recovery is not possible.
