Property Description
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.
OtherIdentifyingInfo
Captures additional data, beyond System Name information, that
could be used to identify a ComputerSystem. One example would be
to hold the Fibre Channel World-Wide Name (WWN) of a node.
NOTE: If only the Fibre Channel name is available and is unique
(able to be used as the System key), then this property would be
NULL and the WWN would become the System key, its data
placed in the Name property.
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.
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
