Property Description
and so on. A NumericSensor that does not publish readings and thresholds, but
stores this data internally, can still report its states.
PrimaryStatus
Provides a high level status value, intended to align with Red-Yellow-Green type
representation of status. It should be used in conjunction with DetailedStatus to
provide high level and detailed health status of the ManagedElement and its
subcomponents.
Possible values are:
● 0 = Unknown — Indicates the implementation is in general capable of returning
this property, but is unable to do so at this time.
● 1 = OK — Indicates the ManagedElement is functioning normally.
● 2 = Degraded — Indicates the ManagedElement is functioning below normal.
● 3 = Error — Indicates the ManagedElement is in an Error condition.
● .. = DMTF Reserved
● 0x8000.. = Vendor Reserved
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 and current enabled or disabled states. Note that when
EnabledState is set to 5 (Not Applicable), then this property has no meaning. Refer
to the EnabledState property description for explanations of the values in the
RequestedState enumeration. Unknown (0) indicates the last requested state for
the element is unknown.
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). Offline (6) indicates that the element has been
requested to transition to the Enabled but Offline EnabledState. There are two
new values in RequestedState that build on the statuses of EnabledState. These
are Reboot (10) and Reset (11). Reboot refers to doing a Shut Downand then
moving to an Enabled state. Reset indicates that the element is first Disabled
and then Enabled.
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
● 2 = Enabled
● 3 = Disabled
● 4 = Shut Down
● 5 = No Change
● 6 = Offline
● 7 = Test
● 8 = Deferred
● 9 = Quiesce
