Property Description
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. Unknown (0) indicates
the last requested state for the element is unknown.
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). Offline (6) indicates that the element has been requested to
transition to the Enabled but Offline EnabledState. There are two
new values in RequestedState that build on the statuses of
EnabledState. These are Reboot (10) and Reset (11). Reboot
refers to doing a Shut Down and then moving to an Enabled
state. Reset indicates that the element is first Disabled and then
Enabled. 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
• 2 = Enabled
• 3 = Disabled
• 4 = Shut Down
• 5 = No Change
• 6 = Offline
• 7 = Test
• 8 = Deferred
• 9 = Quiesce
• 10 = Reboot
• 11 = Reset
• 12 = Not Applicable
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
