Property Description
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.
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
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.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 2 = Enabled
• 3 = Disabled
• 4 = Shut Down
• 5 = No Change
• 6 = Offline
• 7 = Test
• 8 = Deferred
• 9 = Quiesce
• 10 = Reboot
• 11 = Reset
• 12 = Not Applicable
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
NOTE: 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. "Unknown" (0) indicates the last
requested state for the element is unknown.
