Property Description
provide high level and detailed health status of the ManagedElement and its
subcomponents.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown - Indicates the implementation is in general capable of
returning this property, but is unable to do so at this time.
• 1 = OK - Indicates the ManagedElement is functioning normally.
• 2 = Degraded - Indicates the ManagedElement is functioning below
normal.
• 3 = Error - Indicates the ManagedElement is in an Error condition.
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 0x8000.. = Vendor Reserved
RequestedState
An integer enumeration that indicates the last requested or desired state for the
element, irrespective of the mechanism through which it was requested. 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. "Unknown" (0) indicates the last
requested state for the element is unknown.
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). Offline (6) indicates that the element
has been requested to transition to the Enabled but Offline EnabledState.
There are two new values in RequestedState that build on the statuses of
EnabledState. These are "Reboot" (10) and "Reset" (11). Reboot refers to
doing a "Shut Down" and then moving to an "Enabled" state. Reset indicates
that the element is first "Disabled" and then "Enabled".
Shut Down requests an orderly transition to the Disabled state, and may involve
removing power, to completely erase any existing state. The Disabled state
requests an immediate disabling of the element, such that it will not execute or
accept any commands or processing requests.
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
property, because it allows an explicit invocation of the operation and the return
of a result code.
If knowledge of the last RequestedState is not supported for the
EnabledLogicalElement, the property is NULL or has the value 12 "Not
Applicable".
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 2 = Enabled
• 3 = Disabled
• 4 = Shut Down
• 5 = No Change
• 6 = Offline
• 7 = Test
• 8 = Deferred
