Property Description
NOTE: It is assumed that the semantics of each property of this
set are designed to be compared mathematically. When
IsMinimum = Is Miniumum, this property indicates that the
affected property values specified in the associated SettingData
instance defines desired minimum setting values. The
operational minimum values should be modeled as a properties
of the CIM_ManagedElement instance. When IsMinimum =
Is
Not Miniumum
, this property indicates that the affected property
values specified in the associated SettingData instance does not
define desired minimum setting values. When IsMinimum =
Unknown, this property indicates that the affected property
values specified in the associated SettingData instance may
correspond to minimum desired setting values. When
IsMinimum = Not Applicable, this property indicates that the
affected property values specified in the associated SettingData
instance is not interpreted with respect to whether each defines
a desired minimum.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = Not Applicable
• 2 = Is Minimum
• 3 = Is Not Minimum
IsNext
An enumerated integer indicating whether or not the referenced
setting is the next setting to be applied. For example, the application
could take place on a re-initialization, reset, reconfiguration request.
This could be a permanent setting, or a setting used only one time, as
indicated by the flag. If it is a permanent setting then the setting is
applied every time the managed element reinitializes, until this flag is
manually reset. However, if it is single use, then the flag is
automatically cleared after the settings are applied. Also note that if
this flag is specified (i.e. set to value other than Unknown), then this
takes precedence over any SettingData that may have been specified
as Default. For example: If the managed element is a computer
system, and the value of this flag is Is Next, then the setting will be
effective next time the system resets. And, unless this flag is changed,
it will persist for subsequent system resets. However, if this flag is set
to Is Next For Single Use, then this setting will only be used once and
the flag would be reset after that to Is Not Next. So, in the above
example, if the system reboots in a quick succession, the setting will
not be used at the second reboot.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = Is Next
• 2 = Is Not Next
• 3 = Is Next For Single Use
IsPending
An enumerated integer that indicates whether or not the referenced
CIM_SettingData instance represents outstanding changes to the
configuration of the referenced CIM_ManagedElement that are
