Property Description
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".
SystemCreationClassName
The CreationClassName of the scoping System.
SystemName
The Name of the scoping System.
TransitioningToState
Indicates the target state to which the instance is
transitioning.
• 0 = Unknown
• 2 = Enabled
• 3 = Disabled
• 4 = Shut Down
• 5 = No Change - Indicates that no transition is in
progress.
• 6 = Offline
• 7 = Test
• 8 = Defer
• 9 = Quiesce
• 10 = Reboot
• 11 = Reset
• 12 = Not Applicable - Indicates the implementation
does not support representing ongoing transitions.
A value other than 5 or 12 identifies the state to which the
element is in the process of transitioning.
SetBIOSAttributes (Method)
This method is called to modify a group of BIOSAttribute
instances associated with this BIOSService. If the method
is not supported by the implementation, 1 (Not Supported)
shall be returned. If the method is supported, but has not
completed due to an unspecified error, 2 (Error) shall be
returned. If the method is supported and has completed
successfully, 0 (Completed with No Error) shall be
returned. The method may return an instance of
CIM_Error.
RemoteBIOSUpdate (Method)
This method is called to remotely update the BIOS image. It
takes the hdr file of the bios image as the only parameter.
