Reference Guide

Property Description
• 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
IdentifyingDescriptions
An array of free-form strings providing explanations and details behind the entries in the
OtherIdentifyingInfo array. Note that each entry of this array is related to the entry in
OtherIdentifyingInfo that is located at the same index.
Name
The Name property defines the label by which the object is known. When subclassed, the
Name property can be overridden to be a Key property.
OperationalStatus
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
