Property Description
• 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.
PossibleStates
Enumerates the string outputs of the Sensor.
Example 1 - A Switch Sensor may output the states On, or Off.
Another implementation of the Switch may output the states Open,
and Close.
Example 2 - Is a NumericSensor supporting thresholds. This Sensor
can report the states like Normal, Upper Non-Critical, Lower Non-
Critical, and so on. A NumericSensor that does not publish readings
and thresholds, but stores this data internally, can still report its states.
RateUnits
Specifies if the units returned by this Sensor are rate units. All the
values returned by this Sensor are represented in the units obtained by
(BaseUnits * 10 raised to the power of the UnitModifier). This is true
unless this property (RateUnits) has a value different than None. For
example, if BaseUnits is Volts and the UnitModifier is -6, then the units
of the values returned are MicroVolts. But, if the RateUnits property is
set to a value other than None, then the units are further qualified as
rate units. In the above example, if RateUnits is set to Per Second,
then the values returned by the Sensor are in MicroVolts/Second. The
units apply to all numeric properties of the Sensor, unless explicitly
overridden by the Units qualifier. Any implementation of
CurrentReading should be qualified with either a Counter or a Gauge
qualifier, depending on the characteristics of the sensor being
modeled.
Possible values are:
• 0 = None
• 1 = Per MicroSecond
• 2 = Per MilliSecond
• 3 = Per Second
