Property Description
association. Although the higher-level abstractions can be
created and deleted, the most basic, (that is, primordial),
hardware-based storage entities cannot. They are physically
realized as part of the System, or are actually managed by
some other System and imported as if they were physically
realized. In other words, a Primordial StorageExtent exists in,
but is not created by its System and conversely a non-
Primordial StorageExtent is created in the context of its
System. For StorageVolumes, this property will generally be
false. One use of this property is to enable algorithms that
aggregate StorageExtent. ConsumableSpace across all,
StorageExtents but that also want to distinquish the space
that underlies Primordial StoragePools. Since implementations
are not required to surface all Component StorageExtents of a
StoragePool, this information is not accessible in any other
way. Purpose A free form string describing the media and/or
its use. RedundancyConfiguration is an integer enumeration
indicating the redundancy configuration when active memory
fails.
Possible values are:
● 0 = Unknown
● 1 = Other
● 2 = Disabled
● 3 = Spared
● 4 = Mirrored
● 5 = LockStep
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: 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).
