Property Description
• 13 = Lost Communication - Indicates that the ManagedSystem Element is known
to exist and has been contacted successfully in the past, but is currently
unreachable.
• 14 = Aborted - Implies an abrupt stop where the state and configuration of the
element may need to be updated.
• 15 = Dormant - Indicates that the element is inactive or quiesced.
• 16 = Supporting Entity in Error - Indicates that this element may be "OK" but that
another element, on which it is dependent, is in error. An example is a network
service or endpoint that cannot function due to lower-layer networking
problems.
• 17 = Completed - Indicates that the element has completed its operation. This
value should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded so that a client can
tell if the complete operation Completed with OK (passed), Completed with Error
(failed), or Completed with Degraded (the operation finished, but it did not
complete OK or did not report an error).
• 18 = Power Mode - indicates that the element has additional power model
information contained in the Associated PowerManagementService
association.
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 0x8000.. = Vendor Reserved
OperationalStatus replaces the Status property on ManagedSystemElement to provide a
consistent approach to enumerations, to address implementation needs for an array
property, and to provide a migration path from today's environment to the future. This
change was not made earlier because it required the deprecated qualifier. Due to the
widespread use of the existing Status property in management applications, it is strongly
recommended that providers or instrumentation provide both the Status and
OperationalStatus properties. Further, the first value of OperationalStatus should contain
the primary status for the element. When instrumented, Status (because it is single-
valued) should also provide the primary status of the element.
PortType
PortType is defined to force consistent naming of the 'type' property in subclasses and
to guarantee unique enum values for all instances of NetworkPort. When set to 1
("Other"), related property OtherPortType contains a string description of the type of port.
A range of values, DMTF_Reserved, has been defined that allows subclasses to override
and define their specific types of ports.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = Other
• 2 = Not Applicable
• 3..15999 = DMTF Reserved
• 16192 = Parallel Port
• 16193 = Serial Port
• 16194 = Pointing Device
• 16195 = Keyboard
• 16196 = Processor
• 16197 = Memory Device
• 16198 = USB
• 16199 = Monitor
• 16200 = SCSI
• 16201..65535 = Vendor Reserved
