Property Description
• 11..32767 = DMTF Reserved
• 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
For example, shutting down (value = 4) and starting (value = 10) are
transient states between enabled and disabled.
HealthState
Indicates the current health of the element. This attribute expresses
the health of this element but not necessarily that of its
subcomponents.
DMTF has reserved the unused portion of the continuum for
additional HealthStates in the future.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown — The implementation cannot report on
HealthState at this time.
• 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. All functionality provided by this
element has been lost.
• .. = DMTF Reserved
OperationalStatus
Indicates the current statuses of the element. Various operational
statuses are defined. Many of the enumeration's values are self-
explanatory. However, a few are not and are described here in more
detail.
Stressed, Predictive Failure, In Service, No Contact, Lost
Communication, Stopped and Aborted are similar, although the
former , while the latter Dormant, Supporting Entity in Error,
Completed, Power Mode, 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.
