Property Description
● .. = DMTF Reserved
● 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
NOTE: 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 Down and 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.
Stepping
Stepping is a free-form string that indicates the revision level of the Processor
within the Processor.Family.
SystemCreationClassName The CreationClassName of the scoping system.
SystemName The System Name of the scoping system.
TransitioningToState Indicates the target state to which the instance is transitioning. Possible values are:
● 0 = Unknown
● 2 = Enabled
● 3 = Disabled
● 4 = Shut Down
● 5 = No Change—Indicates that no transition is in progress.
● 6 = Offline
● 7 = Test
● 8 = Defer
● 9 = Quiesce
●
10 = Reboot
● 11 = Reset
● 12 = Not Applicable—Indicates the implementation does not support representing
ongoing transitions.
A value other than 5 or 12 identifies the state to which the element is in the process
of transitioning.
UniqueID A global unique identifier for the processor. This identifier can be unique only within a
processor family.
UpgradeMethod CPU socket information that includes data on how the processor can be upgraded
(if upgrades are supported). This property is an integer enumeration. Possible values
are:
