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.
Possible values
are:
- 0 = Unknown — Indicates that 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
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).
