Property Description
Name The Name property defines the label by which the object is known. When
subclassed, the Name property can be overridden to be a Key property.
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.
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. 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
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
