Property Description
NOTE: The Name property of
ManagedSystemElement is also defined as a user-
friendly name. But, it is often subclassed to be a Key.
It is not reasonable that the same property can
convey both identity and a user-friendly name,
without inconsistencies. Where Name exists and is
not a Key (such as for instances of LogicalDevice),
the same information can be present in both the
Name and ElementName properties.
EnabledDefault
An enumerated value indicating an administrator's default
or startup configuration for the Enabled State of an
element.
Possible values are:
• 2 = Enabled
• 3 = Disabled
• 5 = Not Applicable
• 6 = Enabled but Offline
• 7 = No Default
• 9 = Quiesce .. = DMTF Reserved
• 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
By default, the element is "Enabled" (value=2).
EnabledState
An integer enumeration that indicates the enabled and
disabled states of an element. It can also indicate the
transitions between these requested states. For example,
shutting down (value=4) and starting (value=10) are
transient states between enabled and disabled.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = Other
• 2 = Enabled - Indicates that the element is or
could be executing commands, will process any
queued commands, and queues new requests.
• 3 = Disabled - Indicates that the element will not
execute commands and will drop any new
requests.
• 4 = Shutting Down - Indicates that the element is
in the process of going to a Disabled state.
• 5 = Not Applicable - Indicates the element does
not support being enabled or disabled.
• 6 = Enabled but Offline - Indicates that the
element may be completing commands, and will
drop any new requests.
• 7 = In Test - Indicates that the element is in a test
state.
• 8 = Deferred - Indicates that the element may be
completing commands, but will queue any new
requests.
• 9 = Quiesce - Indicates that the element is
enabled but in a restricted mode.
