Possible values are:

3 - Disabled
5 - Not Applicable
6 - Enabled but Offline
7 - No Default
9 - Quiesce

EnabledState
An integer enumeration that indicates the enabled and disabled states of an element. It can also indicate the transitions between these
requested states.
Possible values are:
0 - Unknown
1 - Other
2 - Enabled - Indicates 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
For example, shutting down (value=4) and starting (value=10) are transient states between enabled and disabled.
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.
