PrimaryStatus
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.
.. - DMTF Reserved
0x8000.. - Vendor Reserved
RequestedState
An integer enumeration that indicates the last requested or desired state for the element, irrespective of the mechanism through which it was
requested.
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
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 that 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".
SystemCreationClassName The CreationClassName of the scoping System.
SystemName The 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.
DCIM_ComputerSystem
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.
Dedicated
Enumeration indicating the purpose(s) for which the ComputerSystem is dedicated, if any, and the functionality provided. For example, one could
specify that the System is dedicated to "Print" (value=11) or acts as a "Hub" (value=8).
Also, a value=0 indicates this is a general purpose system, 'Not Dedicated' but that it also hosts 'Print' (value=11) or mobile phone 'Mobile User
Device' (value=17) services.
An example of a dedicated user device is a mobile phone or a barcode scanner in a store that communicates via radio frequency. These systems
are quite limited in functionality and programmability, and are not considered 'general purpose' computing platforms. Alternately, an example of
a mobile system that is 'general purpose' (that is, is NOT dedicated) is a hand-held computer. Although limited in its programmability, new
software can be downloaded and its functionality expanded by the user.
The management scope of a "Management Controller" is typically a single managed system in which it is contained.
Possible values are:
0 - Not Dedicated
1 - Unknown
2 - Other
3 - Storage
4 - Router
5 - Switch
6 - Layer 3 Switch
7 - Central Office Switch
8 - Hub
9 - Access Server
10 - Firewall
11 - Print
12 - I/O
13 - Web Caching
14 - Management -Indicates this instance is dedicated to hosting system management software.
15 - Block Server
16 - File Server
17 - Mobile User Device
18 - Repeater
19 - Bridge/Extender
20 - Gateway
21 - Storage Virtualizer
22 - Media Library
23 - ExtenderNode
24 - NAS Head
25 - Self-contained NAS
26 - UPS
