Property Description
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.
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 - Iindicates 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.
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.
