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 - Indicates the last requested state for the element is unknown.
• 2 = Enabled
• 3 = Disabled
• 4 = Shut Down
• 5 = No Change
• 6 = Offline - Indicates that the element has been requested to transition to the
Enabled but Offline EnabledState.
• 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
NOTE: When EnabledState is set to 5 ("Not Applicable"), then this property has no
meaning. See the EnabledState property description for explanations of the values in
the RequestedState enumeration.
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).
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
