27 - IP Phone
28 - Management Controller - Indicates this instance represents specialized hardware dedicated to systems management (that is, a Baseboard
Management Controller (BMC) or service processor).
29 - Chassis Manager - Indicates this instance represents a system dedicated to management of a blade chassis and its contained devices. This
value would be used to represent a Shelf Controller. A "Chassis Manager" is an aggregation point for management and may rely on subordinate
management controllers for the management of constituent parts.
30 - Host-based RAID controller - Indicates this instance represents a RAID storage controller contained within a host computer.
31 - Storage Device Enclosure - Indicates this instance represents an enclosure that contains storage devices.
32 - Desktop
33 - Laptop
34 - Virtual Tape Library - Is the emulation of a tape library by a Virtual Library System.
35 - Virtual Library System - Uses disk storage to emulate tape libraries.

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
By default, the element is "Enabled" (value=2).
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 - 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.

HealthState
Indicates the current health of the element. This attribute expresses the health of this element but not necessarily that of its subcomponents.
DMTF has reserved the unused portion of the continuum for additional HealthStates in the future.
Possible values are:
0 - Unknown - The implementation cannot report on HealthState at this time.
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.

IdentifyingDescriptions
An array of free-form strings providing explanations and details behind the entries in the OtherIdentifying Info array. Note, each entry of this
array is related to the entry in OtherIdentifyingInfo that is located at the same index.
Name The inherited Name serves as the key of a System instance in an enterprise environment.
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 - Implies a clean and orderly stop
.
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 - 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.
