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 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, RequestedState should have the value
Unknown (0), but may have the value
No Change (5).
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).
