Table 49. OperatingSystem (continued)
Property Description
● 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
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.
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).
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.
