Property Description
ElementEffects
An enumeration that describes the effect on the ManagedElement. This
array corresponds to the OtherElementEffectsDescriptions array, where
the latter provides details that are related to the high-level effects
enumerated by this property. Additional detail is required if the
ElementEffects array contains the value 1 (Other).
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = Other
• 2 = Exclusive Use - Indicates that no other Service may have
this association to the element.
• 3 = Performance Impact - Deprecated in favor of "Consumes",
"Enhances Performance", or "Degrades Performance". Execution
of the Service may enhance or degrade the performance of the
element. This may be as a side-effect of execution or as an
intended consequence of methods provided by the Service.
• 4 = Element Integrity - Deprecated in favor of "Consumes",
"Enhances Integrity", or "Degrades Integrity". Execution of the
Service may enhance or degrade the integrity of the element.
This may be as a side-effect of execution or as an intended
consequence of methods provided by the Service.
• 5 = Manages - The Service manages the element.
• 6 = Consumes - Execution of the Service consumes some or all
of the associated element as a consequence of running the
Service. For example, the Service may consume CPU cycles,
which may affect performance, or Storage which may affect
both performance and integrity. (For instance, the lack of free
storage can degrade integrity by reducing the ability to save
state. ) "Consumes" may be used alone or in conjunction with
other values, in particular, "Degrades Performance" and
"Degrades Integrity". "Manages" and not "Consumes" should be
used to reflect allocation services that may be provided by a
Service.
• 7 = Enhances Integrity - The Service may enhance integrity of
the associated element.
• 8 = Degrades Integrity - The Service may degrade integrity of
the associated element.
• 9 = Enhances Performance - The Service may enhance
performance of the associated element.
• 10 = Degrades Performance - The Service may degrade
performance of the associated element.
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 0x8000..0xFFFF = Vendor Reserved
OtherElementEffectsDescriptions
Provides details for the effect at the corresponding array position in
ElementEffects. This information is required if ElementEffects contains
the value 1 (Other).
