Property Description
earlier positions in the sequence. NULL or the special value 0 indicates don't care. If two or
more affected elements have the same non-zero sequence number, then the ordering
between those elements is irrelevant, but they must all be serviced in the appropriate order
in the overall sequence. A series of examples will make order of elements clearer: If all
elements affected have the same sequence number, regardless of whether it is
0 or non-
zero, any order is acceptable. The values, 1:ELEMENT A 2:ELEMENT B 1:ELEMENT C
3:ELEMENT D, indicate two acceptable orders: A,C,B,D or C,A,B,D, since A and C can be
ordered in either sequence, but only at the 1 position.
NOTE: The non-zero sequence numbers need not start with 1, and they need
not be consecutive. All that matters is their relative magnitude.
ElementEffects
An enumeration that describes the effect on the ManagedElement. This array corresponds
to the OtherElementEffectsDescriptions array, where the latter provides details that are
related to the high-level effects enumerated by this property. Additional detail is required if
the ElementEffects array contains the value 1 (Other).
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = Other
• 2 = Exclusive Use — Indicates that no other Service may have this association to the
element.
• 3 = Performance Impact — Deprecated in favor of Consumes, Enhances
Performance, or Degrades Performance. Execution of the Service may enhance or
degrade the performance of the element. This may be as a side-effect of execution or
as an intended consequence of methods provided by the Service.
• 4 = Element Integrity — Deprecated in favor of Consumes, Enhances Integrity, or
Degrades Integrity. Execution of the Service may enhance or degrade the integrity of
the element. This may be as a side-effect of execution or as an intended consequence
of methods provided by the Service.
• 5 = Manages — The Service manages the element.
• 6 = Consumes — Execution of the Service consumes some or all of the associated
element as a consequence of running the Service. For example, the Service may
consume CPU cycles, which may affect performance, or Storage which may affect
both performance and integrity. (For instance, the lack of free storage can degrade
integrity by reducing the ability to save state. )
Consumes may be used alone or in
conjunction with other values, in particular, Degrades Performance and Degrades
Integrity. Manages and not Consumes should be used to reflect allocation services
that may be provided by a Service.
• 7 = Enhances Integrity — The Service may enhance integrity of the associated
element.
• 8 = Degrades Integrity — The Service may degrade integrity of the associated element.
• 9 = Enhances Performance — The Service may enhance performance of the
associated element.
• 10 = Degrades Performance — The Service may degrade performance of the
associated element.
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 0x8000..0xFFFF = Vendor Reserved
OtherElementEffectsDescriptions
Provides details for the effect at the corresponding array position in ElementEffects. This
information is required if ElementEffects contains the value 1 (Other).
