Property Description
• 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
PossibleStates
Enumerates the string outputs of the Sensor. For example, a "Switch" Sensor may
output the states "On", or "Off". Another implementation of the Switch may output
the states "Open", and "Close". Another example is a NumericSensor supporting
thresholds. This Sensor can report the states like "Normal", "Upper Fatal", "Lower
Non-Critical", etc. A NumericSensor that does not publish readings and
thresholds, but stores this data internally, can still report its states.
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.
Note that 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.
