Property Description Supported
Operating
System(s)
have the value No Change (5). Offline (6) indicates that the element has
been requested to transition to the Enabled but Offline EnabledState.
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.
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
• 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
SensorType
The Type of the Sensor, e.g. Voltage or Temperature Sensor. If the type is set to Other,
then the OtherSensorType Description can be used to further identify the type, or if the
Sensor has numeric readings, then the type of the Sensor can be implicitly determined by
the Units. A description of the different Sensor types is as follows: A Temperature Sensor
measures the environmental temperature. Voltage and Current Sensors measure electrical
voltage and current readings. A Tachometer measures speed/revolutions of a Device. For
example, a Fan Device can have an associated Tachometer which measures its speed. A
Counter is a general purpose Sensor that measures some numerical property of a Device.
A Counter value can be cleared, but it never decreases. A Switch Sensor has states like
Open/Close, On/Off, or Up/Down. A Lock has states of Locked/Unlocked. Humidity,
Smoke Detection and Air Flow Sensors measure the equivalent environmental
characteristics. A Presence Sensor detects the presence of a PhysicalElement. A Power
Consumption Sensor measures the instantaneous power consumed by a managed
element. A Power Production Sensor measures the instantaneous power produced by a
managed element such as a power supply or a voltage regulator. A pressure sensor is used
to report pressure. Intrusion sensor reports an intrusion of an enclosure regardless
whether it was authorized or not.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = Other
• 2 = Temperature
• 3 = Voltage
• 4 = Current
