Property Description
• 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
OperationalStatus
Indicates the current statuses of the element. Various
operational statuses are defined. Many of the enumeration's

described here in more detail.
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
