BaseUnits
|
The base unit of the values returned by this Sensor. All
the values returned by this Sensor are represented in the units obtained
by (BaseUnits * 10 raised to the power of the UnitModifier). For example,
if BaseUnits is Volts and the UnitModifier is -6, then the units of
the values returned are MicroVolts. However, if the RateUnits property
is set to a value other than
None, then the units are further
qualified as rate units. In the above example, if RateUnits is set
to
Per Second, then the values returned by the Sensor are in
MicroVolts/Second. The units apply to all numeric properties of the
Sensor, unless explicitly overridden by the Units qualifier.
Possible values are:
- 0 = Unknown
- 1 = Other
- 2 = Degrees C
- 3 = Degrees F

|
CreationClassName
|
Indicates the name of the class or the subclass used in
the creation of an instance. When used with the other key properties
of this class, this property allows all instances of this class and
its subclasses to be uniquely identified.
|
CurrentReading
|
The current value indicated by the Sensor.
|
CurrentState
|
The current state indicated by the Sensor. This is always
one of the
PossibleStates.
|
DeviceID
|
An address or other identifying information used to uniquely
name the LogicalDevice.
|
ElementName
|
A user-friendly name for the object. This property allows
each instance to define a user-friendly name in addition to its key
properties, identity data, and description information.
-
NOTE: The Name property of
ManagedSystemElement is also defined as a user-friendly name. But,
it is often subclassed to be a Key. It is not reasonable that the
same property can convey both identity and a user-friendly name, without
inconsistencies. Where Name exists and is not a Key (such as for instances
of LogicalDevice), the same information can be present in both the
Name and ElementName properties. We have introduced new elements for
Temperature sensor, Fan Speed Sensor, Current Supply and Voltage Numeric
Sensor.
|
EnabledDefault
|
An enumerated value indicating an administrator's default
or startup configuration for the Enabled State of an element.
Possible values are:
- 2 = Enabled
- 3 = Disabled
- 5 = Not Applicable
- 6 = Enabled but Offline
- 7 = No Default
- 9 = Quiesce
- .. = DMTF Reserved
- 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
By default, the element is
Enabled (value = 2).
|
EnabledState
|
An integer enumeration that indicates the enabled and disabled
states of an element. It can also indicate the transitions between
these requested states.
Possible values are:
- 0 = Unknown
- 1 = Other
- 2 = Enabled — Indicates that the element is or could be executing
commands, will process any queued commands, and queues new requests.
- 3 = Disabled — Indicates that the element will not execute commands
and will drop any new requests.
- 4 = Shutting Down — Indicates that the element is in the process
of going to a Disabled state.
- 5 = Not Applicable — Indicates the element does not support being
enabled or disabled.
- 6 = Enabled but Offline — Indicates that the element may be completing
commands, and will drop any new requests.
- 7 = In Test — Indicates that the element is in a test state.
- 8 = Deferred — Indicates that the element may be completing commands,
but will queue any new requests.
- 9 = Quiesce — Indicates that the element is enabled but in a restricted
mode.
- 10 = Starting — Indicates that the element is in the process of
going to an Enabled state. New requests are queued.
- 11..32767 = DMTF Reserved
- 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
For example, shutting down (value =
4) and starting
(value =
10) are transient states between enabled and disabled.
|
HealthState
|
Indicates the current health of the element. This attribute
expresses the health of this element but not necessarily that of its
subcomponents.
Possible values are:
- 0 = Unknown — The implementation cannot report on HealthState
at this time.
- 5 = OK — The element is fully functional and is operating within
normal operational parameters and without error.
- 10 = Degraded/Warning — The element is in working order and all
functionality is provided. However, the element is not working to
the best of its abilities. For example, the element may not be operating
at optimal performance or it may be reporting recoverable errors.
- 15 = Minor failure — All functionality is available but some may
be degraded.
- 20 = Major failure — The element is failing. It is possible that
some or all of the functionality of this component is degraded or
not working.
- 25 = Critical failure — The element is non-functional and recovery
may not be possible.
- 30 = Non-recoverable error — The element has completely failed,
and recovery is not possible. All functionality provided by this element
has been lost.
- .. = DMTF Reserved
DMTF has reserved the unused portion of the continuum for
additional HealthStates in the future.
|
LowerThresholdCritical
|
The Sensor's threshold values specify the ranges (min and
max values) for determining whether the Sensor is operating under
Normal, NonCritical or Critical conditions. The CurrentState is Critical
once the CurrentReading is below LowerThresholdCritical.
|
LowerThresholdNonCritical
|
The Sensor's threshold values specify the ranges (min and
max values) for determining whether the Sensor is operating under
Normal, NonCritical, Critical conditions. If Current Reading is between
LowerThresholdNonCritical and Upper ThresholdNonCritical, then the
Sensor is reporting a normal value. If CurrentReading is between LowerThresholdNonCritical
and LowerThresholdCritical, then the CurrentState is NonCritical.
Example for Set command: wmic /namespace:\\root\dcim\sysman path
dcim_numericsensor Where
ElementName like '%Temperature Sensor:%' set LowerThresholdNonCritical =
30. This sets the all temperature
probes (lower threshold non critical) in the system to
30 degree
Celsius.
|
OperationalStatus
|
Indicates the current statuses of the element. Various operational
statuses are defined. Many of the enumeration's values are self-explanatory.
Possible values are:
- 0 = Unknown
- 1 = Other
- 2 = OK
- 3 = Degraded
- 4 = Stressed — Indicates that the element is functioning, but
needs attention. Examples of
Stressed states are overload,
overheated, and so on.
- 5 = Predictive Failure — Indicates that an element is functioning
nominally but predicting a failure in the near future.
- 6 = Error
- 7 = Non-Recoverable Error
- 8 = Starting
- 9 = Stopping
- 10 = Stopped — Implies a clean and orderly stop
- 11 = In Service — Describes an element being configured, maintained,
cleaned, or otherwise administered.
- 12 = No Contact — Indicates that the monitoring system has knowledge
of this element, but has never been able to establish communications
with it.
- 13 = Lost Communication — Indicates that the ManagedSystem Element
is known to exist and has been contacted successfully in the past,
but is currently unreachable.
- 14 = Aborted — Implies an abrupt stop where the state and configuration
of the element may need to be updated.
- 15 = Dormant - Indicates that the element is inactive or quiesced.
- 16 = Supporting Entity in Error — Indicates that this element
may be
OK but that another element, on which it is dependent,
is in error. An example is a network service or endpoint that cannot
function due to lower-layer networking problems.
- 17 = Completed — Indicates that the element has completed its
operation. This value should be combined with either OK, Error, or
Degraded so that a client can tell if the complete operation Completed
with OK (passed), Completed with Error (failed), or Completed with
Degraded (the operation finished, but it did not complete OK or did
not report an error).
- 18 = Power Mode — Indicates that the element has additional power
model information contained in the Associated PowerManagementService
association.
- .. = DMTF Reserved
- 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.
|
PossibleStates
|
Enumerates the string outputs of the Sensor.
Example
1 - A
Switch Sensor may output the states
On, or
Off. Another implementation of the Switch may output the states
Open, and
Close.
Example 2 - Is a NumericSensor
supporting thresholds. This Sensor can report the states like
Normal,
Upper Non-Critical,
Lower Non-Critical, and so on.
A NumericSensor that does not publish readings and thresholds, but
stores this data internally, can still report its states.
|
RateUnits
|
Specifies if the units returned by this Sensor are rate
units. All the values returned by this Sensor are represented in the
units obtained by (BaseUnits * 10 raised to the power of the UnitModifier).
This is true unless this property (RateUnits) has a value different
than
None. For example, if BaseUnits is Volts and the UnitModifier
is -6, then the units of the values returned are MicroVolts. But,
if the RateUnits property is set to a value other than
None, then the units are further qualified as rate units. In the above
example, if RateUnits is set to
Per Second, then the values
returned by the Sensor are in MicroVolts/Second. The units apply to
all numeric properties of the Sensor, unless explicitly overridden
by the Units qualifier. Any implementation of CurrentReading should
be qualified with either a Counter or a Gauge qualifier, depending
on the characteristics of the sensor being modeled.
Possible
values are:
- 0 = None
- 1 = Per MicroSecond
- 2 = Per MilliSecond
- 3 = Per Second
- 4 = Per Minute
- 5 = Per Hour
- 6 = Per Day
- 7 = Per Week
- 8 = Per Month
- 9 = Per Year
|
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 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.
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.
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
- 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
|
SensorType
|
The Type of the Sensor, e.g. Voltage or Temperature Sensor.
If the type is set to
Other, then the OtherSensorType Description
can be used to further identify the type, or if the Sensor has numeric
readings, then the type of the Sensor can be implicitly determined
by the Units. A description of the different Sensor types is as follows:
A Temperature Sensor measures the environmental temperature. Voltage
and Current Sensors measure electrical voltage and current readings.
A Tachometer measures speed/revolutions of a Device. For example,
a Fan Device can have an associated Tachometer which measures its
speed. A Counter is a general purpose Sensor that measures some numerical
property of a Device. A Counter value can be cleared, but it never
decreases. A Switch Sensor has states like Open/Close, On/Off, or
Up/Down. A Lock has states of Locked/Unlocked. Humidity, Smoke Detection
and Air Flow Sensors measure the equivalent environmental characteristics.
A Presence Sensor detects the presence of a PhysicalElement. A Power
Consumption Sensor measures the instantaneous power consumed by a
managed element. A Power Production Sensor measures the instantaneous
power produced by a managed element such as a power supply or a voltage
regulator. A pressure sensor is used to report pressure. Intrusion
sensor reports an intrusion of an enclosure regardless whether it
was authorized or not.
Possible values are:
- 0 = Unknown
- 1 = Other
- 2 = Temperature
- 3 = Voltage
- 4 = Current
- 5 = Tachometer
- 6 = Counter
- 7 = Switch
- 8 = Lock
- 9 = Humidity
- 10 = Smoke Detection
- 11 = Presence
- 12 = Air Flow
- 13 = Power Consumption
- 14 = Power Production
- 15 = Pressure
- 16 = Intrusion
- .. = DMTF Reserved
- 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
|
SystemCreationClassName
|
The CreationClassName of the scoping system.
|
SystemName
|
The System Name of the scoping system.
|
TransitioningToState
|
Indicates the target state to which the instance is transitioning.
Possible values are:
- 0 = Unknown
- 2 = Enabled
- 3 = Disabled
- 4 = Shut Down
- 5 = No Change — Indicates that no transition is in progress.
- 6 = Offline
- 7 = Test
- 8 = Defer
- 9 = Quiesce
- 10 = Reboot
- 11 = Reset
- 12 = Not Applicable — Indicates the implementation does not support
representing ongoing transitions.
A value other than
5 or
12 identifies the state
to which the element is in the process of transitioning.
|
UnitModifier
|
The unit multiplier for the values returned by this Sensor.
All the values returned by this Sensor are represented in the units
obtained by (BaseUnits * 10 raised to the power of the UnitModifier).
For example, if BaseUnits is Volts and the Unit Modifier is
-6, then the units of the values returned are MicroVolts. However,
if the RateUnits property is set to a value other than
None, then the units are further qualified as rate units.
In
the above example, if RateUnits is set to
Per Second, then
the values returned by the Sensor are in MicroVolts/Second. The units
apply to all numeric properties of the Sensor, unless explicitly overridden
by the Units qualifier.
|
UpperThresholdCritical
|
The Sensor's threshold values specify the ranges (min and
max values) for determining whether the Sensor is operating under
Normal, NonCritical, Critical conditions. If the CurrentReading is
above UpperThresholdCritical, then the Current State is critical.
|
UpperThresholdNonCritical
|
The Sensor's threshold values specify the ranges (min and
max values) for determining whether the Sensor is operating under
Normal, NonCritical or Critical conditions. If the CurrentReading
is between LowerThresholdNonCritical and UpperThresholdNonCritical,
then the Sensor is reporting a normal value. If the CurrentReading
is between UpperThreshold NonCritical and UpperThresholdCritical,
then the CurrentState is NonCritical.
Example for Set command:
wmic /namespace:\\root\dcim\sysman path dcim_numericsensor Where
ElementName like '%Temperature Sensor:%’ set UpperThresholdNonCritical
=
70
|
ValueFormulation
|
Indicates the method used by the sensor to produce its reading.
Possible values are:
- 0 = Unknown
- 2 = Measured - Indicates the value is measured directly by the
sensor.
- 3 = Derived - Indicates the value is derived from other measured
values that are not reported discretely by this sensor.
- .. = DMTF Reserved
- 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
|
SupportedThresholds
|
SupportedThresholds property is an array that contains the
list of the implemented thresholds: LowerThresholdNonCritical, UpperThresholdNonCritical,
LowerThresholdCritical, UpperThresholdCritical. When the implementation
does not support any of these threshold properties, the CIM_NumericSensor.SupportedThresholds
property shall be an empty array.
|
SettableThresholds
|
SettableThresholds property is an array that contains the
list of the settable implemented thresholds: LowerThresholdNonCritical,
UpperThresholdNonCritical. The CIM_NumericSensor.SettableThresholds
array shall contain the subset of values in the CIM_NumericSensor.SupportedThresholds
array. When the implementation does not support any of the settable
threshold properties, the CIM_NumericSensor.SettableThresholds property
shall be an empty array.
