Reference Guide

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.
OtherIdentifyingInfo
OtherIdentifyingInfo captures data, in addition to DeviceID information, that could be
used to identify a LogicalDevice. For example, you could use this property to hold the
operating system's user-friendly name for the Device.
PrimaryStatus
Provides a high level status value, intended to align with Red-Yellow-Green type
representation of status. It should be used in conjunction with DetailedStatus to
provide high level and detailed health status of the ManagedElement and its
subcomponents.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown - Indicates the implementation is in general capable of returning
this property, but is unable to do so at this time.
• 1 = OK - Indicates the ManagedElement is functioning normally.
• 2 = Degraded - Indicates the ManagedElement is functioning below normal.
• 3 = Error - Indicates the ManagedElement is in an Error condition.
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 0x8000.. = Vendor Reserved
RemainingCapacityMaxError
The maximum error (as a percentage) in the mWatt-hour data reported by
RemainingCapacity property.
RequestedState
An integer enumeration that indicates the last requested or desired state for the
element, irrespective of the mechanism through which it was requested. 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.
