Property Description
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).
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 — Indicates the last requested
state for the element is unknown.
• 2 = Enabled
• 3 = Disabled
• 4 = Shut Down
• 5 = No Change
• 6 = Offline — Indicates that the element has
been requested to transition to the Enabled but
Offline EnabledState.
• 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.
• 12 = Not Applicable
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
