Property Description
• 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
DMTF has reserved the unused portion of the continuum for additional HealthStates in the
future.
RequestedState
An integer enumeration that indicates the last requested or desired state for the element,
irrespective of the mechanism through which it was requested.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown - Indicates the last requested state for the element is unknown.
• 2 = Enabled -
• 3 = Disabled - Requests an immediate disabling of the element, such that it will not
execute or accept any commands or processing requests.
• 4 = Shut Down - Requests an orderly transition to the Disabled state, and may involve
removing power, to completely erase any existing state.
• 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
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. Note that 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). 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
