OperationalStatus
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 - Implies an abrupt stop where the state and configuration of the element may need to be updated.
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
association.

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
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.

RemainingCapacityMaxError The maximum error (as a percentage) in the mWatt-hour data reported by RemainingCapacity property.
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.
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
.. - DMTF Reserved
32768..65535 - Vendor Reserved
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".
SmartBatteryVersion
The Smart Battery Data Specification version number that is supported by this Battery. If the Battery does not support this function, the value
should be left blank.
Status
A string indicating the current status of the object. Various operational and non-operational statuses are defined. This property is deprecated
instead of OperationalStatus, which includes the same semantics in its enumeration. This change is made for three reasons:
Status is more correctly defined as an array. This definition overcomes the limitation of describing status using a single value, when it is
really a multi-valued property (for example, an element may be OK AND Stopped.
A MaxLen of 10 is too restrictive and leads to unclear enumerated values.
The change to a uint16 data type was discussed when CIM V2.0 was defined. However, existing V1.0 implementations used the string
property and did not want to modify their code. Therefore, Status was grandfathered into the Schema. Use of the deprecated qualifier
allows the maintenance of the existing property, but also permits an improved definition using OperationalStatus.
Possible values are:
OK
Error
Degraded
Unknown
Pred Fail
Starting
Stopping
Service
Stressed
NonRecover
No Contact
Lost Comm
Stopped
SystemCreationClassName The CreationClassName of the scoping system.
SystemName The System Name of the scoping system.
Indicates the target state to which the instance is transitioning.
Possible values are:
0 - Unknown
2 - Enabled
3 - Disabled
4 - Shut Down
