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.
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.
IdentifyingDescriptions
An array of free-form strings providing explanations and details behind the entries in the OtherIdentifyingInfo array. Note that each entry of this array is related to the entry in OtherIdentifyingInfo that is located at the
same index.
LogicalModuleType
Identifies the type of LogicalModule this instance represents.
Possible values are:
0 = Unknown - Indicates that the LogicalModuleType is unknown.
1 = Other - Indicates that the value is not one of the enumerated values. OtherLogicalModuleTypeDescription should contain additional information.
2 = Device Tray - Indicates that the device is a device or media tray, for example in a modular system.
3 = Line Card - Indicates that the module is a line card in a switch.
4 = Blade - Indicates the module is a blade inserted into a switch.
5..32767 = DMTF Reserved
32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
The ranges expressed by "DMTF Reserved" and "Vendor Reserved" are reserved for DMTF and Vendor extensibility, respectively.
ModuleNumber Logical modules are often named by the physical or logical slot that they occupy within the containing device. ModuleNumber is the number assigned to the module by its parent.
OtherIdentifyingInfo
OtherIdentifyingInfo captures data, in addition to DeviceID information, that could be used to identify a LogicalDevice. For example, you could use this property to hold the operating system's user-friendly name for the
Device.
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. 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 Sysem 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.
