Property Description
• 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 defines the label by which the object is known.
When subclassed, the Name property can be overridden to be a Key
property.
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. Note that 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.
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.
