Property Description
IdentifyingDescriptions
An array of free-form strings providing explanations and details behind the entries in
the OtherIdentifying Info array. Note, each entry of this array is related to the entry
in OtherIdentifyingInfo that is located at the same index.
Name
The inherited Name serves as the key of a system instance in an enterprise
environment.
OperationalStatus
Indicates the current statuses of the element. Various operational statuses are
defined. Many of the enumeration's values are self-explanatory.
Possible values are:
● 0 = Unknown
● 1 = Other
● 2 = OK
● 3 = Degraded
● 4 = Stressed - Indicates that the element is functioning, but needs attention.
Examples of Stressed states are overload, overheated, and so on.
●
5 = Predictive Failure—Indicates that an element is functioning nominally but
predicting a failure in the near future.
● 6 = Error
● 7 = Non-Recoverable Error
● 8 = Starting
● 9 = Stopping
● 10 = Stopped—Implies a clean and orderly stop.
● 11 = In Service—Describes an element being configured, maintained, cleaned, or
otherwise administered.
● 12 = No Contact—Indicates that the monitoring system has knowledge of this
element, but has never been able to establish communications with it.
● 13 = Lost Communication—Indicates that the ManagedSystem Element is known
to exist and has been contacted successfully in the past, but is currently
unreachable.
● 14 = Aborted—Implies an abrupt stop where the state and configuration of the
element may need to be updated.
● 15 = Dormant—Indicates that the element is inactive or quiesced.
● 16 = Supporting Entity in Error—Indicates that this element may be OK but that
another element, on which it is dependent, is in error. An example is a network
service or endpoint that cannot function due to lower-layer networking problems.
● 17 = Completed—Indicates that the element has completed its operation. This
value should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded so that a client can
tell if the complete operation Completed with OK (passed), Completed with Error
(failed), or Completed with Degraded (the operation finished, but it did not
complete OK or did not report an error).
● 18 = Power Mode—Indicates that the element has additional power model
information contained in the Associated PowerManagementService association.
● .. = DMTF Reserved
● 0x8000.. = Vendor Reserved
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 and OperationalStatus properties. Further, the first value of
OperationalStatus should contain the primary status for the element. When
instrumented, Status (because it is single-valued) should also provide the primary
status of the element.
