Property Description
• 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.
Starting (10) indicates that the element is in the process of going to an Enabled
state. New requests are queued.
• 10 = Starting
• 11..32767 = DMTF Reserved
• 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
Name
The Name property defines the label by which the object is known. When subclassed,
the Name property can be overridden to be a Key property.
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. See 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.
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 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
• 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".
