Reference Guide

Property Description
1. Status is more correctly defined as an array. This definition
overcomes the limitation of describing status using a single
value, when it is really a multi-valued property (for example, an
element may be OK AND Stopped.
2. A MaxLen of 10 is too restrictive and leads to unclear
enumerated values.
3. The change to a uint16 data type was discussed when CIM V2.0
was defined. However, existing V1.0 implementations used the
string property and did not want to modify their code. Therefore,
Status was grandfathered into the Schema. Use of the
deprecated qualifier allows the maintenance of the existing
property, but also permits an improved definition using
OperationalStatus.
