Property Description
• 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 currently 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).
• 18 = Power Mode — Indicates that the element 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 strongly
recommended that providers or instrumentation provide both the
Status and OperationalStatus properties. Further, the first value of
OperationalStatus should contain the primary status for the element.
When instrumented, Status (because it is single-valued) should also
provide the primary status of the element.
OtherIdentifyingInfo
Captures additional data, beyond System Name information, that
could be used to identify a ComputerSystem. One example would be
to hold the Fibre Channel World-Wide Name (WWN) of a node.
NOTE: If only the Fibre Channel name is available and is unique
(able to be used as the System key), then this property would be
NULL and the WWN would become the System key, its data
placed in the Name property.
