EnabledState
An integer enumeration that indicates the enabled and disabled states
of an element. It can also indicate the transitions between these
requested states.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = Other
• 2 = Enabled — Indicates that the element is or could be executing
commands, will process any queued commands, and queues new
requests.
• 3 = Disabled — Indicates that the element will not run commands
and drops any new requests.
• 4 = Shutting Down — Indicates that the element is in the process
of going to a Disabled state.
• 5 = Not Applicable — Indicates that the element does not support
being enabled or disabled.
• 6 = Enabled but Offline — Indicates that the element may be
completing commands, and drops any new requests.
• 7 = In Test — Indicates that the element is in a test state.
• 8 = Deferred — Indicates that the element may be completing
commands, but queues any new requests.
• 9 = Quiesce — Indicates that the element is enabled but in a
restricted mode.
• 10 = Starting — Indicates that the element is in the process of
going to an Enabled state. New requests are queued.
• 11..32767 = DMTF Reserved
• 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
For example, shutting down (value = 4) and starting (value = 10) are
transient states between enabled and disabled.
RequestedState
An integer enumeration that indicates the last requested or desired
state for the element, irrespective of the mechanism through which it
was requested. The actual state of the element is represented by
EnabledState. This property is provided to compare the last requested

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.
