Property Description
• 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).
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".
TransitioningToState
Indicates the target state to which the instance is transitioning.
Possible values are:
• 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.
