Property Description
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
Primordial
If true, Primordial indicates that the containing System does not
have the ability to create or delete this operational element. This is
important because StorageExtents are assembled into higher-level
abstractions using the BasedOn association. Although the higher-
level abstractions can be created and deleted, the most basic, (that
is, primordial), hardware-based storage entities cannot. They are
physically realized as part of the System, or are actually managed
by some other System and imported as if they were physically
realized. In other words, a Primordial StorageExtent exists in, but is
not created by its System and conversely a non-Primordial
StorageExtent is created in the context of its System. For
StorageVolumes, this property will generally be false. One use of
this property is to enable algorithms that aggregate StorageExtent.
ConsumableSpace across all, StorageExtents but that also want to
distinquish the space that underlies Primordial StoragePools. Since
implementations are not required to surface all Component
StorageExtents of a StoragePool, this information is not accessible
in any other way. Purpose A free form string describing the media
and/or its use. RedundancyConfiguration is an integer enumeration
indicating the redundancy configuration when active memory fails.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = Other
• 2 = Disabled
• 3 = Spared
• 4 = Mirrored
• 5 = LockStep
RequestedState
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: 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.
NOTE: The value No Change (5) has been deprecated
instead of indicating the last requested state is Unknown
(0). If the last requested or desired state is unknown,
