Property Description
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. See the EnabledState property
description for explanations of the values in the RequestedState enumeration. Unknown (0)
indicates the last requested state for the element is unknown.
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
● 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 performing 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 creation classname of the scoping system.
SystemName
The system name of the scoping system.
TOEEnabledState
An integer enumeration that indicates the enabled and disabled states of the TOE.
Possible values are:
● 0 = Unknown
● 1 = Other
● 2 = Enabled—Indicates that the TOE is enabled and running.
● 3 = Disabled—Indicates that the TOE is disabled.
● 4 = Not Applicable—Indicates that the ethernet port does not have TOE capability.
● 5..32767 = DMTF Reserved
● 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
TransitioningToState
Indicates the target state to which the instance is transitioning.
