DeviceNumber The device number assigned to this PCI device for this bus.
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.
11..32767 = DMTF Reserved
32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
FunctionNumber The function number for this PCI device.
HealthState
Indicates the current health of the element. This attribute expresses the health of this element but not necessarily that of its subcomponents.
Possible values are:
0 = Unknown - The implementation cannot report on HealthState at this time. DMTF has reserved the unused portion of the continuum for additional HealthStates in the future.
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.
.. = DMTF Reserved
StatusInfo
The use of this method is deprecated instead of a more clearly named property (EnabledState) that is inherited from ManagedSystemElement and that has additional enumerated values. Deprecated description: The
StatusInfo property indicates whether the Logical Device is in an enabled state (value=3), disabled state (value=4), some other state (value=1), or an unknown state (value=2). If this property does not apply to the
LogicalDevice, the value 5 ("Not Applicable") should be used. If a Device is ("Enabled")(value=3), it has been powered up and is configured and operational. The Device may or may not be functionally active, depending on
whether its Availability (or AdditionalAvailability) indicates that it is ("Running/Full Power")(value=3) or ("Off line") (value=8). In an enabled but offline mode, a Device may be performing out-of-band requests, such as
running Diagnostics. If StatusInfo is ("Disabled") (value=4), a Device can only be "enabled" or powered off. In a personal computer environment, ("Disabled") means that the driver of the device is not available in the
stack. In other environments, a Device can be disabled by removing its configuration file. A disabled device is physically present in a System and consuming resources, but it cannot be communicated with until a driver is
loaded, a configuration file is loaded, or some other "enabling" activity has occurred.
Possible values are:
1 = Other
2 = Unknown
3 = Enabled
4 = Disabled
5 = Not Applicable
SystemCreationClassName The CreationClassName of the scoping system.
SystemName The System 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_DisplayController
CapabilityDescriptions
An array of free-form strings providing more detailed explanations for any of the video Accelerator features indicated in the Capabilities array. Note, each entry of this array is related to the entry in the Capabilities array
that is located at the same index.
CommunicationStatus indicates the ability of the instrumentation to communicate with the underlying ManagedElement. CommunicationStatus consists of one of the following values: Unknown, None, Communication OK,
Lost Communication, or No Contact. A Null return indicates the implementation (provider) does not implement this property.
Possible values are:
