Property Description
• 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.
HealthState
Indicates the current health of the element. This attribute expresses the health
of this element but not necessarily that of its subcomponents.
DMTF has reserved the unused portion of the continuum for additional
HealthStates in the future.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown - The implementation cannot report on HealthState at this
time.
• 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
OperationalStatus
Indicates the current statuses of the element. Various operational statuses are
defined. Many of the enumeration's values are self-explanatory. However, a few
are not and are described here in more detail.
"Stressed""Predictive Failure""In Service" "No Contact""Lost Communication"
"Stopped" and "Aborted" are similar, although the former , while the latter
"Dormant" "Supporting Entity in Error" "Completed" "Power Mode"
OperationalStatus replaces the Status property on ManagedSystemElement to
provide a consistent approach to enumerations, to address implementation
needs for an array property, and to provide a migration path from today's
environment to the future. This change was not made earlier because it required
the deprecated qualifier. Due to the widespread use of the existing Status
property in management applications, it is strongly recommended that providers
or instrumentation provide both the Status and OperationalStatus properties.
Further, the first value of OperationalStatus should contain the primary status for
