Property Description

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 have the value

12 "Not Applicable".

Status

A string indicating the current status of the object. Various

operational and non-operational statuses are defined. This

property is deprecated instead of OperationalStatus, which

includes the same semantics in its enumeration. This change is

made for the following reasons:

• Status is more correctly defined as an array. This

definition overcomes the limitation of describing status

using a single value, when it is really a multi-valued

property (for example, an element may be OK AND

Stopped.

• A MaxLen of 10 is too restrictive and leads to unclear

enumerated values.

• The change to a uint16 data type was discussed when

CIM V2.0 was defined. However, existing V1.0

implementations used the string property and did not

want to modify their code. Therefore, Status was

grandfathered into the Schema. Use of the deprecated

qualifier allows the maintenance of the existing

property, but also permits an improved definition using

OperationalStatus.
