Property Description
provided to compare the last requested and
current enabled or disabled states. 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 that 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). 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 — Refers to doing a Shut Down
and then moving to an Enabled state.
• 11 = Reset — Indicates that the element is first
Disabled and then Enabled.
