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—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
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.
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.
