Access
Access describes whether the media is readable, writeable, or both (value=3).
Possible values are:
0 - Unknown
1 - Readable
2 - Writeable
3 - Read/Write Supported
4 - Write Once
BlockSize
Size in bytes of the blocks which form this StorageExtent. If variable block size, then the maximum block size in bytes should be specified. If the
block size is unknown or if a block concept is not valid (for example, for AggregateExtents, Memory or LogicalDisks), enter a 1.
ConsumableBlocks
The maximum number of blocks, of size BlockSize, which are available for consumption when layering StorageExtents using the BasedOn
association. This property only has meaning when this StorageExtent is an Antecedent reference in a BasedOn relationship. For example, a
StorageExtent could be composed of 120 blocks. However, the Extent itself may use 20 blocks for redundancy data. If another StorageExtent is
BasedOn this Extent, only 100 blocks would be available to it. This information ('100 blocks is available for consumption') is indicated in the
ConsumableBlocks property.
CreationClassName
Indicates the name of the class or the subclass used in the creation of an instance. When used with the other key properties of this class, this
property allows all instances of this class and its subclasses to be uniquely identified.
DeviceID An address or other identifying information used to uniquely name the LogicalDevice.
ElementName
A user-friendly name for the object. This property allows each instance to define a user-friendly name in addition to its key properties, identity
data, and description information.
Note: The Name property of ManagedSystemElement is also defined as a user-friendly name. But, it is often subclassed to be a Key. It is not
reasonable that the same property can convey both identity and a user-friendly name, without inconsistencies. Where Name exists and is not a
Key (such as for instances of LogicalDevice), the same information can be present in both the Name and ElementName properties.
EnabledDefault
An enumerated value indicating an administrator's default or startup configuration for the Enabled State of an element.
Possible values are:
2 - Enabled
3 - Disabled
5 - Not Applicable
6 - Enabled but Offline
7 - No Default
9 - Quiesce
.. - DMTF Reserved
32768..65535 - Vendor Reserved
EnabledState
An integer enumeration that indicates the enabled and disabled states of an element. It can also indicate the transitions between these
requested states. For example, shutting down (value=4) and starting (value=10) are transient states between enabled and disabled.
Possible values are:
0 - Unknown
1 - Other
2 - Enabled - Iindicates 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
ErrorMethodology
ErrorMethodology for Memory is a string property that indicates whether parity or CRC algorithms, ECC or other mechanisms are used. Details on
the algorithm can also be supplied.
FailOverState
An integer enumeration indicating that active memory has failed and the spare or backup memory may have taken over.
Possible values are:
0 - Unknown
1 - Other
2 - None
3 - Active
HealthState
Indicates the current health of the element. This attribute expresses the health of this element but not necessarily that of its subcomponents.
Possible values are:
0 - Unknown - The implementation cannot report on HealthState at this time. DMTF has reserved the unused portion of the continuum for
additional HealthStates in the future.
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
NumberOfBlocks
Total number of logically contiguous blocks, of size Block Size, which form this Extent. The total size of the Extent can be calculated by
multiplying BlockSize by NumberOfBlocks. If the BlockSize is 1, this property is the total size of the Extent.
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
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
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
