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 - Refers to doing 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. See 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 have the value 12 "Not Applicable".
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 the following 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
SubnetMask The mask for the IPv4 address of this ProtocolEndpoint, if one is defined.
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_ControllerView
BusType
The property represents the type of the PCI bus.
Possible values are:
Unknown
