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.
OtherIdentifyingInfo
Captures data, in addition to DeviceID information, that could be used to identify a LogicalDevice. For example, you could use this property to
hold the operating system's user-friendly name for the Device.
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.

Primordial
If true, "Primordial" indicates that the containing System does not have the ability to create or delete this operational element. This is important
because StorageExtents are assembled into higher-level abstractions using the BasedOn 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".
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 - Indicates that the element has been requested to transition to the Enabled but Offline EnabledState.
7 - Test
8 - Deferred
9 - Quiesce
10 - Reboot - Indicates 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

32768..65535 - Vendor Reserved
SystemCreationClassName The CreationClassName of the scoping system.
SystemName The System Name of the scoping system.
TransitioningToState
Indicates the target state to which the instance is transitioning.
Possible values are:
0 - Unknown
2 - Enabled
3 - Disabled
4 - Shut Down
5 - No Change - Indicates that no transition is in progress.
6 - Offline
7 - Test
8 - Defer
9 - Quiesce
10 - Reboot
11 - Reset
12 - Not Applicable - Indicates the implementation does not support representing ongoing transitions.
A value other than 5 or 12 identifies the state to which the element is in the process of transitioning.
Volatile Volatile is a property that indicates whether this memory is volatile or not.
DCIM_PCIDevice
BusNumber The bus number where this PCI device resides.
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.
Description Provides a textual description of the object.
DeviceID An address or other identifying information used to uniquely name the LogicalDevice.
