Table 47. ComputerSystem (continued)
Property Description
OtherIdentifyingInfo
Captures additional data, beyond System Name information, that could be used to
identify a ComputerSystem. One example would be to hold the Fibre Channel World-
Wide Name (WWN) of a node.
NOTE: If only the Fibre Channel name is available and is unique (able to be used
as the System key), then this property would be NULL and the WWN would
become the System key, its data placed in the Name property.
PrimaryStatus
Provides a high level status value, intended to align with Red-Yellow-Green type
representation of status. It should be used in conjunction with DetailedStatus to
provide high level and detailed health status of the ManagedElement and its
subcomponents.
Possible values are:
● 0 = Unknown—Indicates the implementation is in general capable of returning
this property, but is unable to do so at this time.
● 1 = OK—Indicates the ManagedElement is functioning normally.
● 2 = Degraded—Indicates the ManagedElement is functioning below normal.
● 3 = Error—Indicates the ManagedElement is in an Error condition.
● .. = DMTF Reserved
● 0x8000.. = Vendor Reserved
RequestedState
An integer enumeration that indicates the last requested or desired state for the
element, irrespective of the mechanism through which it was requested.
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
● 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
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). Offline (6) indicates that the element has been
requested to transition to the Enabled but Offline EnabledState.
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
