ElementName A user-friendly name for the object. This property allows each instance to define a user-friendly name in addition to its key properties, identity data, and description information.

An enumerated value indicating an administrator's default or startup configuration for the Enabled State of an element.

Possible values are:

• 2 = Enabled
• 3 = Disabled
• 5 = Not Applicable
• 6 = Enabled but Offline
• 7 = No Default
• 9 = Quiesce
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved

By default, the element is Enabled (value = 2).

An integer enumeration that indicates the enabled and disabled states of an element. It can also indicate the transitions between these requested states. For example, shutting down (value = 4) and starting (value = 10) are transient states between enabled and disabled.

Possible values are:

• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = Other
• 2 = Enabled — Indicates that the element is or could be executing commands, will process any queued commands, and queues new requests.
• 3 = Disabled — Indicates that the element will not execute commands and will drop any new requests.
• 4 = Shutting Down — Indicates that the element is in the process of going to a Disabled state.
• 5 = Not Applicable — Indicates the element does not support being enabled or disabled.
• 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.
• 10 = Starting — Indicates that the element is in the process of going to an Enabled state. New requests are queued.
• 11..32767 = DMTF Reserved
• 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved

Indicates the current health of the element. This attribute expresses the health of this element but not necessarily that of its subcomponents.

DMTF has reserved the unused portion of the continuum for additional HealthStates in the future.

Possible values are:

• 0 = Unknown — The implementation cannot report on HealthState at this time.
• 5 = OK — The element is fully functional and is operating within normal operational parameters and without error.
• 10 = Degraded/Warning — The element is in working order and all functionality is provided. However, the element is not working to the best of its abilities. For example, the element may not be operating at optimal performance or it may be reporting recoverable errors.
• 15 = Minor failure — All functionality is available but some may be degraded.
• 20 = Major failure — The element is failing. It is possible that some or all of the functionality of this component is degraded or not working.
• 25 = Critical failure — The element is non-functional and recovery may not be possible.
• 30 = Non-recoverable error — The element has completely failed, and recovery is not possible. All functionality provided by this element has been lost.
• .. = DMTF Reserved

Within the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and uniquely identifies an instance of this class. To ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value of InstanceID should be constructed using the following preferred algorithm:

<OrgID> : <LocalID>

Where <OrgID> and <LocalID> are separated by a colon (:), and where <OrgID> must include a copyrighted, trademarked, or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity that is creating or defining the InstanceID or that is a registered ID assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority. (This requirement is similar to the <Schema Name>_<Class Name> structure of Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure uniqueness, <OrgID> must not contain a colon (:). When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in InstanceID must appear between <OrgID> and <LocalID> . <LocalID> is chosen by the business entity and should not be reused to identify different underlying (real-world) elements. If the above preferred algorithm is not used, the defining entity must assure that the resulting InstanceID is not reused across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for the NameSpace of this instance. For DMTF-defined instances, the preferred algorithm must be used with the <OrgID>set to CIM.

LogState is an integer enumeration that indicates the current state of a log represented by CIM_Log subclasses. LogState is to be used in conjunction with the EnabledState property to fully describe the current state of the log.

Possible values are:

• 0 = Unknown — Indicates the state of the log is unknown.
• 2 = Normal — Indicates that the log is or could be executing logging commands, will process any queued log entries, and will queue new logging requests.
• 3 = Erasing — Indicates that the log is being erased.
• 4 = Not Applicable — Indicates the log does not support representing a log state.
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved

Maximum number of records that can be captured in the Log. If undefined, a value of zero should be specified.

Indicates the current statuses of the element. Various operational statuses are defined. Many of the enumeration's values are self-explanatory.

Possible values are:

• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = Other
• 2 = OK
• 3 = Degraded
• 4 = Stressed — Indicates that the element is functioning, but needs attention. Examples of Stressed states are overload, overheated, and so on.
• 5 = Predictive Failure — Indicates that an element is functioning nominally but predicting a failure in the near future.
• 6 = Error
• 7 = Non-Recoverable Error
• 8 = Starting
• 9 = Stopping
• 10 = Stopped — Implies a clean and orderly stop
• 11 = In Service — Describes an element being configured, maintained, cleaned, or otherwise administered.
• 12 = No Contact — Indicates that the monitoring system has knowledge of this element, but has never been able to establish communications with it.
• 13 = Lost Communication — Indicates that the ManagedSystem Element is known to exist and has been contacted successfully in the past, but is currently unreachable.
• 14 = Aborted — Implies an abrupt stop where the state and configuration of the element may need to be updated.
• 15 = Dormant — Indicates that the element is inactive or quiesced.
• 16 = Supporting Entity in Error — Indicates that this element may be OK but that another element, on which it is dependent, is in error. An example is a network service or endpoint that cannot function due to lower-layer networking problems.
• 17 = Completed — Indicates that the element has completed its operation. This value should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded so that a client can tell if the complete operation Completed with OK (passed), Completed with Error (failed), or Completed with Degraded (the operation finished, but it did not complete OK or did not report an error).
• 18 = Power Mode — Indicates that the element has additional power model information contained in the Associated PowerManagementService association.
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 0x8000.. = Vendor Reserved

OperationalStatus replaces the Status property on ManagedSystemElement to provide a consistent approach to enumerations, to address implementation needs for an array property, and to provide a migration path from today's environment to the future. This change was not made earlier because it required the deprecated qualifier. Due to the widespread use of the existing Status 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.

OverwritePolicy is an integer enumeration that indicates whether the log, represented by the CIM_Log subclasses, can overwrite its entries.

Possible values are:

• 0 = Unknown — Indicates the log's overwrite policy is unknown.
• 2 = Wraps When Full — Indicates that the log overwrites its entries with new entries when the log has reached its maximum capacity.
• 7 = Never Overwrites — Indicates that the log never overwrites its entries by the new entries
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved

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

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.

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.

Indicates the target state to which the instance is transitioning.

• 0 = Unknown
• 2 = Enabled
• 3 = Disabled
• 4 = Shut Down
• 5 = No Change — ndicates that no transition is in progress.
• 6 = Offline
• 7 = Test
• 8 = Defer
• 9 = Quiesce
• 10 = Reboot
• 11 = Reset
• 12 = Not Applicable — Indicates the implementation does not support representing ongoing transitions.

A value other than 5 or 12 identifies the state to which the element is in the process of transitioning.
