Table 32. Sensor (continued)
Property Description
● 1 = Other
● 2 = Enabled—Indicates that the element is or could be executing commands, will
process any queued commands, and queues new requests.
● 3 = Disabled—Indicates that the element will not execute commands and will
drop any new requests.
● 4 = Shutting Down—Indicates that the element is in the process of going to a
Disabled state.
● 5 = Not Applicable—Indicates the element does not support being enabled or
disabled.
● 6 = Enabled but Offline—Indicates that the element may be completing
commands, and will drop any new requests.
● 7 = In Test—Indicates that the element is in a test state.
● 8 = Deferred—Indicates that the element may be completing commands, but will
queue any new requests.
● 9 = Quiesce—Indicates that the element is enabled but in a restricted mode.
● 10 = Starting—Indicates that the element is in the process of going to an
Enabled state. New requests are queued.
● 11..32767 = DMTF Reserved
● 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
For example, shutting down (value = 4) and starting (value = 10) are transient states
between enabled and disabled.
HealthState
Indicates the current health of the element. This attribute expresses the health of
this element but not necessarily that of its subcomponents.
DMTF has reserved the unused portion of the continuum for additional HealthStates
in the future.
Possible values are:
● 0 = Unknown—The implementation cannot report on HealthState at this time.
● 5 = OK—The element is fully functional and is operating within normal
operational parameters and without error.
● 10 = Degraded/Warning—The element is in working order and all functionality is
provided. However, the element is not working to the best of its abilities. For
example, the element may not be operating at optimal performance or it may be
reporting recoverable errors.
● 15 = Minor failure—All functionality is available but some may be degraded.
● 20 = Major failure—The element is failing. It is possible that some or all of the
functionality of this component is degraded or not working.
● 25 = Critical failure—The element is non-functional and recovery may not be
possible.
● 30 = Non-recoverable error—The element has completely failed, and recovery is
not possible. All functionality provided by this element has been lost.
● .. = DMTF Reserved
OperationalStatus
Indicates the current statuses of the element. Various operational statuses are
defined. Many of the enumeration's values are self-explanatory. However, a few are
not and are described here in more detail.
Stressed, Predictive Failure, In Service, No Contact, Lost Communication,
Stopped and Aborted are similar, although the former , while the latter Dormant,
Supporting Entity in Error, Completed, Power Mode, OperationalStatus
replaces the Status property on ManagedSystemElement to provide a consistent
approach to enumerations, to address implementation needs for an array property,
and to provide a migration path from today's environment to the future. This change
was not made earlier because it required the deprecated qualifier. Due to the
widespread use of the existing Status property in management applications, it is
strongly recommended that providers or instrumentation provide both the Status
