Property Description
• 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 
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.
OverwritePolicy 
OverwritePolicy is an integer enumeration that indicates whether the log, represented by 
the CIM_Log subclasses, can overwrite its entries.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown — Indicates the log's overwrite policy is unknown.
• 2 = Wraps When Full — Indicates that the log overwrites its entries with new entries 
when the log has reached its maximum capacity.
• 7 = Never Overwrites — Indicates that the log never overwrites its entries by the new 
entries
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
PrimaryStatus
Provides a high level status value, intended to align with Red-Yellow-Green type 
representation of status. It should be used in conjunction with DetailedStatus to provide high 
level and detailed health status of the ManagedElement and its subcomponents.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown — Indicates the implementation is in general capable of returning this 
property, but is unable to do so at this time.
• 1 = OK — Indicates the ManagedElement is functioning normally.
• 2 = Degraded — Indicates the ManagedElement is functioning below normal.
• 3 = Error — Indicates the ManagedElement is in an Error condition.
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 0x8000.. = Vendor Reserved
RequestedState
An integer enumeration that indicates the last requested or desired state for the element, 
irrespective of the mechanism through which it was requested.
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
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
