Table 33. DeviceBay (continued)
Property Description
● 3 = Line Card—Indicates that the module is a line card in a switch.
● 4 = Blade—Indicates the module is a blade inserted into a switch.
● 5..32767 = DMTF Reserved
● 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
ModuleNumber Logical modules are often named by the physical or logical slot that they occupy
within the containing device. ModuleNumber is the number assigned to the module
by its parent.
OtherIdentifyingInfo OtherIdentifyingInfo captures data, in addition to DeviceID information, that could be
used to identify a LogicalDevice. For example, you could use this property to hold the
operating system's user-friendly name for the Device.
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.
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.
● 11 = Reset—Indicates that the element is first Disabled and then Enabled
● 12 = Not Applicable
● .. = 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.
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).
There are two new values in RequestedState that build on the statuses of
EnabledState. These are Reboot (10) and Reset (11).
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.
