| | uint16 InstallCharacteristics [ ] | ) This method allows a client application to determine whether a specific SoftwareIdentity can be installed (or updated) on a ManagedElement. It also allows other characteristics to be determined such as whether install will require a reboot.

Note that the function of this method overlaps with the RequestedState property. RequestedState was added to the model to maintain a record (such as a persisted value) of the last state request. Invoking the StopService method should set the RequestedState property appropriately. The method returns an integer value of 0 if the Service was successfully stopped, 1 if the request is not supported, and any other number to indicate an error. In a subclass, the set of possible return codes could be specified using a ValueMap qualifier on the method. The strings to which the ValueMap contents are translated can also be specified in the subclass as a Values array qualifier. Note: The semantics of this method overlap with the RequestStateChange method that is inherited from EnabledLogicalElement.

Note that the function of this method overlaps with the RequestedState property. RequestedState was added to the model to maintain a record (such as a persisted value) of the last state request. Invoking the StartService method should set the RequestedState property appropriately.

The EnabledLogicalElement addresses the same semantics. The change to a uint16 data type was discussed when CIM V2.0 was defined. However, existing V1.0 implementations used the string property. To remain compatible with those implementations, StartMode was grandfathered into the schema. Use of the deprecated qualifier allows the maintenance of the existing property but also permits an improved, clarified definition using EnabledDefault.

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. By default, the RequestedState of the element is 5 ('No Change'). Refer to the EnabledState property description for explanations of the values in the RequestedState enumeration. It should be noted that there are two new values in RequestedState that build on the statuses of EnabledState. These are 'Reboot' (10) and 'Reset' (11). Reboot refers to doing a 'Shut Down' and then moving to an 'Enabled' state. Reset indicates that the element is first 'Disabled' and then 'Enabled'. The distinction between requesting 'Shut Down' and 'Disabled' should also be noted. Shut Down requests an orderly transition to the Disabled state, and might 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. A particular instance of EnabledLogicalElement might not support RequestedStateChange. If this occurs, the value 12 ('Not Applicable') is used. | ValueMap { "0" , "1" , "2" , "3" , "4" , "5" , "6" , "7" , "8" , "9" , "10" , "11..32767" , "32768..65535" } Values { "Unknown" , "Other" , "Enabled" , "Disabled" , "Shutting Down" , "Not Applicable" , "Enabled but Offline" , "In Test" , "Deferred" , "Quiesce" , "Starting" , "DMTF Reserved" , "Vendor Reserved" } ModelCorrespondence { "CIM_EnabledLogicalElement.OtherEnabledState" } uint16 EnabledState = 5 ; EnabledState is 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. The following text briefly summarizes the various enabled and disabled states: Enabled (2) indicates that the element is or could be executing commands, will process any queued commands, and queues new requests. Disabled (3) indicates that the element will not execute commands and will drop any new requests. Shutting Down (4) indicates that the element is in the process of going to a Disabled state. Not Applicable (5) indicates the element does not support being enabled or disabled. Enabled but Offline (6) indicates that the element might be completing commands, and will drop any new requests. Test (7) indicates that the element is in a test state. Deferred (8) indicates that the element might be completing commands, but will queue any new requests. Quiesce (9) indicates that the element is enabled but in a restricted mode. The behavior of the element is similar to the Enabled state, but it processes only a restricted set of commands. All other requests are queued. Starting (10) indicates that the element is in the process of going to an Enabled state. New requests are queued. | ValueMap { "0" , "1" , "2" , "3" , "4" , "5" , "6" , "7" , "8" , "9" , "10" , "11" , "12" , "13" , "14" , "15" , "16" , "17" , "18" , ".." , "0x8000.." } ArrayType ( "Indexed" ) Values { "Unknown" , "Other" , "OK" , "Degraded" , "Stressed" , "Predictive Failure" , "Error" , "Non-Recoverable Error" , "Starting" , "Stopping" , "Stopped" , "In Service" , "No Contact" , "Lost Communication" , "Aborted" , "Dormant" , "Supporting Entity in Error" , "Completed" , "Power Mode" , "DMTF Reserved" , "Vendor Reserved" } ModelCorrespondence { "CIM_ManagedSystemElement.StatusDescriptions" } uint16 OperationalStatus [ ] ; Indicates the current statuses of the element. Various operational statuses are defined. Many of the enumeration's values are self-explanatory. However, a few are not and are described here in more detail. 'Stressed' indicates that the element is functioning, but needs attention. Examples of 'Stressed' states are overload, overheated, and so on. 'Predictive Failure' indicates that an element is functioning nominally but predicting a failure in the near future. 'In Service' describes an element being configured, maintained, cleaned, or otherwise administered. 'No Contact' indicates that the monitoring system has knowledge of this element, but has never been able to establish communications with it. 'Lost Communication' indicates that the ManagedSystem Element is known to exist and has been contacted successfully in the past, but is currently unreachable. 'Stopped' and 'Aborted' are similar, although the former implies a clean and orderly stop, while the latter implies an abrupt stop where the state and configuration of the element might need to be updated. 'Dormant' indicates that the element is inactive or quiesced. 'Supporting Entity in Error' indicates that this element might 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. '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). 'Power Mode' indicates that the element has additional power model information contained in the Associated PowerManagementService association. 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. | ArrayType ( "Indexed" ) ModelCorrespondence { "CIM_ManagedSystemElement.OperationalStatus" } string StatusDescriptions [ ] ; Strings describing the various OperationalStatus array values. For example, if 'Stopping' is the value assigned to OperationalStatus, then this property may contain an explanation as to why an object is being stopped. Note that entries in this array are correlated with those at the same array index in OperationalStatus. | ValueMap { "OK" , "Error" , "Degraded" , "Unknown" , "Pred Fail" , "Starting" , "Stopping" , "Service" , "Stressed" , "NonRecover" , "No Contact" , "Lost Comm" , "Stopped" } MaxLen ( 10 ) Deprecated { "CIM_ManagedSystemElement.OperationalStatus" } string Status ; A string indicating the current status of the object. Various operational and non-operational statuses are defined. This property is deprecated in lieu of OperationalStatus, which includes the same semantics in its enumeration. This change is made for 3 reasons: 1) Status is more correctly defined as an array. This definition overcomes the limitation of describing status using a single value, when it is really a multi-valued property (for example, an element might be OK AND Stopped. 2) A MaxLen of 10 is too restrictive and leads to unclear enumerated values. 3) The change to a uint16 data type was discussed when CIM V2.0 was defined. However, existing V1.0 implementations used the string property and did not want to modify their code. Therefore, Status was grandfathered into the Schema. Use of the deprecated qualifier allows the maintenance of the existing property, but also permits an improved definition using OperationalStatus. | MappingStrings { "MIF.DMTF|ComponentID|001.5" } datetime InstallDate ; A datetime value that indicates when the object was installed. Lack of a value does not indicate that the object is not installed. | ValueMap { "0" , "5" , "10" , "15" , "20" , "25" , "30" , ".." } Values { "Unknown" , "OK" , "Degraded/Warning" , "Minor failure" , "Major failure" , "Critical failure" , "Non-recoverable error" , "DMTF Reserved" } uint16 HealthState ; Indicates the current health of the element. This attribute expresses the health of this element but not necessarily that of its subcomponents. The possible values are 0 to 30, where 5 means the element is entirely healthy and 30 means the element is completely non-functional. The following continuum is defined: 'Non-recoverable Error' (30) - The element has completely failed, and recovery is not possible. All functionality provided by this element has been lost. 'Critical Failure' (25) - The element is non-functional and recovery might not be possible. 'Major Failure' (20) - The element is failing. It is possible that some or all of the functionality of this component is degraded or not working. 'Minor Failure' (15) - All functionality is available but some might be degraded. 'Degraded/Warning' (10) - 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 might not be operating at optimal performance or it might be reporting recoverable errors. 'OK' (5) - The element is fully functional and is operating within normal operational parameters and without error. 'Unknown' (0) - The implementation cannot report on HealthState at this time. DMTF has reserved the unused portion of the continuum for additional HealthStates in the future. | string 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. Note that the Name property of ManagedSystemElement is also defined as a user-friendly name. But, it is often subclassed to be a Key. It is not reasonable that the same property can convey both identity and a user-friendly name, without inconsistencies. Where Name exists and is not a Key (such as for instances of LogicalDevice), the same information can be present in both the Name and ElementName properties. | MaxLen ( 64 ) string Caption ; The Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object. | string Description ; The Description property provides a textual description of the object. |
