Property Description
CreationClassName
Indicates the name of the class or the subclass
used in the creation of an instance. When used
with the other key properties of this class, this
property allows all instances of this class and its
subclasses to be uniquely identified.
DeviceID
An address or other identifying information used to
uniquely name the LogicalDevice.
ElementName
A user-friendly name for the object. This property
allows each instance to define a user-friendly
name in addition to its key properties, identity data,
and description information.
NOTE: The Name property of
ManagedSystemElement is also defined as a
user-friendly name. But, it is often subclassed
to be a Key. It is not reasonable that the same
property can convey both identity and a user-
friendly name, without inconsistencies. Where
Name exists and is not a Key (such as for
instances of LogicalDevice), the same
information can be present in both the Name
and ElementName properties.
EnabledDefault
An enumerated value indicating an administrator's
default or startup configuration for the Enabled
State of an element.
Possible values are:
• 2 = Enabled
• 3 = Disabled
• 5 = Not Applicable
• 6 = Enabled but Offline
• 7 = No Default
• 9 = Quiesce .. = DMTF Reserved
• 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
By default, the element is Enabled (value = 2).
EnabledState
An integer enumeration that indicates the enabled
and disabled states of an element. It can also
indicate the transitions between these requested
states. For example, shutting down (value= 4) and
starting (value = 10) are transient states between
enabled and disabled.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = Other
• 2 = Enabled — Indicates that the element is or
could be executing commands, will process
