Dell Command | Monitor Version 9.1 Reference Guide

The ButtonPurpose property identifies or defines the use of the button represented by the instance. If the type is set to Other, then the OtherButtonPurpose property can be used to further identify the purpose. Descriptions of the different Button purposes are as follows: A Power Button changes the power state of a device. A reset button is used to reset the state of a device. Undock is used to undock or disconnect a device or entire system from a separate device or system. An Open or Close button is used on a device that has an object that usually moves such as a drawer, door, or tray.

Possible values are:

• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = Other
• 2 = Power
• 3 = Reset
• 4 = Undock
• 5 = Open/Close
• 6..32767 = DMTF Reserved
• 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved

The ButtonType property identifies or defines the type the button represented by the instance.

Possible values are:

• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = Other
• 2 = Momentary
• 3 = Toggle
• 4..32767 = DMTF Reserved
• 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved

If the type is set to Other, then the OtherButtonType property can be used to further identify the type. A momentary button is one that depressed for a moment to cause the desired affect the target device or circuit A toggle type button is one that will remain in a switched or depressed position until it is depressed or switched again.

Indicates the name of the class or the subclass used in the creation of an instance. When used with the other key properties of this class, this property allows all instances of this class and its subclasses to be uniquely identified.

An address or other identifying information used to uniquely name the LogicalDevice.

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.

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

For example, shutting down (value = 4) and starting (value = 10) are transient states between enabled and disabled.

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.

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

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.

The CreationClassName of the scoping system.

The System Name of the scoping system.

Indicates the target state to which the instance is transitioning.

Possible values are:

• 0 = Unknown
• 2 = Enabled
• 3 = Disabled
• 4 = Shut Down
• 5 = No Change — Indicates 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.
