TransitioningToState
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.
A clarification is needed with respect to the value 17 ("Mobile User Device"). 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
27 = IP Phone
28 = Management Controller - Indicates this instance represents specialized hardware dedicated to systems management (i.e., 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.
36..32567 = DMTF Reserved
32568..65535 = Vendor Reserved
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).
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
