Property Description Supported
Operating
System(s)
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—Indicates the last requested state for the element is unknown.
● 2 = Enabled
● 3 = Disabled
● 4 = Shut Down
● 5 = No Change
● 6 = Offline
● 7 = Test
● 8 = Deferred
● 9 = Quiesce
● 10 = Reboot—Refers to doing a Shut Down and then moving to an Enabled
state.
● 11 = Reset—Indicates that the element is first Disabled and then Enabled.
● 12 = Not Applicable
● .. = DMTF Reserved
● 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
SensorType
The Type of the Sensor, e.g. Voltage or Temperature Sensor. If the type is
set to Other, then the OtherSensorType Description can be used to further
identify the type, or if the Sensor has numeric readings, then the type of the
Sensor can be implicitly determined by the Units. A description of the different
Sensor types is as follows: A Temperature Sensor measures the environmental
temperature. Voltage and Current Sensors measure electrical voltage and current
readings. A Tachometer measures speed/revolutions of a Device. For example,
a Fan Device can have an associated Tachometer which measures its speed.
A Counter is a general purpose Sensor that measures some numerical property
of a Device. A Counter value can be cleared, but it never decreases. A Switch
Sensor has states like Open/Close, On/Off, or Up/Down. A Lock has states of
Locked/Unlocked. Humidity, Smoke Detection and Air Flow Sensors measure the
equivalent environmental characteristics. A Presence Sensor detects the presence
of a PhysicalElement. A Power Consumption Sensor measures the instantaneous
power consumed by a managed element. A Power Production Sensor measures the
instantaneous power produced by a managed element such as a power supply or
a voltage regulator. A pressure sensor is used to report pressure. Intrusion sensor
reports an intrusion of an enclosure regardless whether it was authorized or not.
Possible values are:
● 0 = Unknown
● 1 = Other
● 2 = Temperature
● 3 = Voltage
● 4 = Current
● 5 = Tachometer
● 6 = Counter
