Property Description
• 5 = Predictive Failure — Indicates that an
element is functioning nominally but predicting
a failure soon.
• 6 = Error
• 7 = Non-Recoverable Error
• 8 = Starting
• 9 = Stopping
• 10 = Stopped — Implies a clean and orderly
stop.
• 11 = In Service — Describes an element being
configured, maintained, cleaned, or otherwise
administered.
• 12 = No Contact — Indicates that the
monitoring system has knowledge of this
element, but has never been able to establish
communications with it.
• 13 = Lost Communication — Indicates that the
ManagedSystem Element is known to exist and
has been contacted successfully in the past, but
is unreachable.
• 14 = Aborted — Implies an abrupt stop where
the state and configuration of the element may
need to be updated.
• 15 = Dormant — Indicates that the element is
inactive or quiesced.
• 16 = Supporting Entity in Error — Indicates that
this element may be OK but that another
element, on which it is dependent, is in error.
An example is a network service or endpoint
that cannot function due to lower-layer
networking problems.
• 17 = Completed — Indicates that the element
has completed its operation. This value should
be combined with either OK, Error, or
Degraded so that a client can tell if the
complete operation Completed with OK
(passed), Completed with Error (failed), or
Completed with Degraded (the operation
finished, but it did not complete OK or did not
report an error).

has additional power model information
contained in the Associated
PowerManagementService association.
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 0x8000.. = Vendor Reserved
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
recommended that providers or instrumentation
