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). Offline (6) indicates that the element has
been requested to transition to the Enabled but
Offline EnabledState.
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
has the value 12 "Not Applicable".
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown - Indicates the last requested state
for the element is unknown.
• 2 = Enabled
• 3 = Disabled
• 4 = Shut Down
• 5 = No Change
• 6 = Offline
• 7 = Test
• 8 = Deferred
• 9 = Quiesce
• 10 = Reboot - Refers to doing a "Shut Down" and
then moving to an "Enabled" state.
• 11 = Reset - Indicates that the element is first
"Disabled" and then "Enabled".
• 12 = Not Applicable
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
SensorType
The Type of the Sensor, e.g. Voltage or Temperature
Sensor. If the type is set to "Other", then the
OtherSensorType Description can be used to further
identify the type, or if the Sensor has numeric readings,
then the type of the Sensor can be implicitly determined
by the Units. A description of the different Sensor types is
