Property Description
• .. = 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.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown - Indicates the last requested state
for the element is unknown.
• 2 = Enabled
• 3 = Disabled
• 4 = Shut Down
• 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
NOTE: 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).
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
