IdentifyingDescriptions
An array of free-form strings providing explanations and details behind
the entries in the OtherIdentifyingInfo array. Note that each entry of this
array is related to the entry in OtherIdentifyingInfo that is located at the
same index.
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.
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
