IdentifyingDescriptions 
public string[2] IdentifyingDescriptions



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

OtherIdentifyingInfo 
public string[2] OtherIdentifyingInfo



  
General Information:
OtherIdentifyingInfo captures additional 
  data, beyond System Name information, that could be used to identify a 
  ComputerSystem. One example would be to hold the Fibre Channel World-Wide Name 
  (WWN) of a node. Note that if only the Fibre Channel name is available and is 
  unique (able to be used as the System key), then this property would be NULL 
  and the WWN would become the System key, its data placed in the Name 
  property.

CreationClassName Key 
public string CreationClassName



  
General Information:
CreationClassName 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.

ElementName 
public string ElementName



  
General Information:
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. Note that if there is an associated instance of 
  CIM_EnabledLogicalElementCapabilities, restrictions on this properties may 
  exist as defined in ElementNameMask and MaxElementNameLen properties defined 
  in that class.

OperationalStatus 
public uint16[2] OperationalStatus



  
General Information:
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. 
  
"Relocating" indicates the element is being 
  relocated.
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.

HealthState 
public uint16 HealthState



  
General Information:
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.

Product Specific Usage:

i. 
  HealthState = 5 ("OK") when system is in H0 health state 
ii. HealthState = 
  20 ("Major failure") when system is in H1 health state 
iii. HealthState = 
  25 ("Critical failure") when system is in H2 health state 
iv. HealthState 
  = 30 ("Non-recoverable error") when system is in H3 health state

EnabledState 
public uint16 EnabledState



  
General Information:
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.
Starting (10) indicates that the element 
  is in the process of going to an Enabled state. New requests are 
  queued.

Product Specific Usage:
synchronized with 
  CIM_AssociatedPowerManagementService.PowerState 
i. 2 (Enabled) in S0 
  
ii. 3 (Disabled) in S5 
iii. Current value of 5 (Not Applicable) is

RequestedState 
public uint16 RequestedState



  
General Information:
RequestedState is 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 that the value "No 
  Change" (5) has been deprecated in lieu 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).Offline (6) indicates that the element has been requested to 
  transition to the Enabled but Offline EnabledState. 
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. 
  

If knowledge of the last RequestedState is not supported for the 
  EnabledLogicalElement, the property shall be NULL or have the value 12 "Not 
  Applicable".

NameFormat 
public string NameFormat



  
General Information:
The ComputerSystem object and its 
  derivatives are Top Level Objects of CIM. They provide the scope for numerous 
  components. Having unique System keys is required. The NameFormat property 
  identifies how the ComputerSystem Name is generated. The NameFormat ValueMap 
  qualifier defines the various mechanisms for assigning the name. Note that 
  another name can be assigned and used for the ComputerSystem that better suit 
  a business, using the inherited ElementName property.
If the NameFormat is 
  set to "UUID", then the Name property shall be a UUID in its canonical form 
  consisting of 32 hexadecimal digits in 5 groups separated by hyphens, in the 
  form 8-4-4-4-12 for a total of 36 characters (32 digits and 4 hyphens). For 
  the first three fields, the most significant digit is on the left. The last 
  two fields are treated as eight separate bytes, each having their most 
  significant digit on the left, and they follow each other from left to 
  right.

Dedicated 
public uint16[2] Dedicated



  
General Information:
Enumeration indicating the purpose(s) to 
  which the ComputerSystem is dedicated, if any, and what functionality is 
  provided. For example, one could specify that the System is dedicated to 
  "Print" (value=11) or acts as a "Hub" (value=8). 
Also, one could indicate 
  that this is a general purpose system by indicating 'Not Dedicated' (value=0) 
  but that it also hosts 'Print' (value=11) or mobile phone 'Mobile User Device' 
  (value=17) services. 
A clarification is needed with respect to the value 
  17 ("Mobile User Device"). An example of a dedicated user device is a mobile 
  phone or a barcode scanner in a store that communicates via radio frequency. 
  These systems are quite limited in functionality and programmability, and are 
  not considered 'general purpose' computing platforms. Alternately, an example 
  of a mobile system that is 'general purpose' (i.e., is NOT dedicated) is a 
  hand-held computer. Although limited in its programmability, new software can 
  be downloaded and its functionality expanded by the user. 
A value of 
  "Management" indicates this instance is dedicated to hosting system management 
  software.
A value of "Management Controller" indicates this instance 
  represents specialized hardware dedicated to systems management (i.e., a 
  Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) or service processor).
The management 
  scope of a "Management Controller" is typically a single managed system in 
  which it is contained.
A value of "Chassis Manager" indicates this instance 
  represents a system dedicated to management of a blade chassis and its 
  contained devices. This value would be used to represent a Shelf Controller. A 
  "Chassis Manager" is an aggregation point for management and may rely on 
  subordinate management controllers for the management of constituent parts. A 
  value of "Host-based RAID Controller" indicates this instance represents a 
  RAID storage controller contained within a host computer. A value of "Storage 
  Device Enclosure" indicates this instance represents an enclosure that 
  contains storage devices. A "Virtual Tape Library" is the emulation of a tape 
  library by a Virtual Library System. A "Virtual Library System" uses disk 
  storage to emulate tape libraries.A "FC Switch" indicates this instance is 
  dedicated to switching layer 2 fibre channel frames. An "Ethernet Switch" 
  indicates this instance is dedicated to switching layer 2 ethernet 
  frames.
