Class CIM_ManagedSystemElement


CIM_ManagedElement


Description

CIM_ManagedSystemElement is the base class for the System Element hierarchy. Any distinguishable component of a System is a candidate for inclusion in this class. Examples of system components include:- software components such as application servers, databases, and applications- operating system components such as files, processes, and threads- device components such as disk drives, controllers, processors, and printers- physical components such as chips and cards.

Indicates the current health of the element. This attribute expresses the health of this element but not necessarily that of its subcomponents. The possible values are 0 to 30, where 5 means the element is entirely healthy and 30 means the element is completely non-functional. The following continuum is defined:"Non-recoverable Error"(30) - The element has completely failed, and recovery is not possible. All functionality provided by this element has been lost."Critical Failure"(25) - The element is non-functional and recovery might not be possible."Major Failure"(20) - The element is failing. It is possible that some or all of the functionality of this component is degraded or not working."Minor Failure"(15) - All functionality is available but some might be degraded."Degraded/Warning"(10) - 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 might not be operating at optimal performance or it might be reporting recoverable errors."OK"(5) - The element is fully functional and is operating within normal operational parameters and without error."Unknown"(0) - The implementation cannot report on HealthState at this time.DMTF has reserved the unused portion of the continuum for additional HealthStates in the future.
InstallDate datetime
A datetime value that indicates when the object was installed. Lack of a value does not indicate that the object is not installed.
Name string

The Name property defines the label by which the object is known. When subclassed, the Name property can be overridden to be a Key property.

Indicates the current statuses of the element. Various operational statuses are defined. Many of the enumeration's values are self-explanatory. However, a few are not and are described here in more detail."Stressed"indicates that the element is functioning, but needs attention. Examples of"Stressed"states are overload, overheated, and so on."Predictive Failure"indicates that an element is functioning nominally but predicting a failure in the near future."In Service"describes an element being configured, maintained, cleaned, or otherwise administered."No Contact"indicates that the monitoring system has knowledge of this element, but has never been able to establish communications with it."Lost Communication"indicates that the ManagedSystem Element is known to exist and has been contacted successfully in the past, but is currently unreachable."Stopped"and"Aborted"are similar, although the former implies a clean and orderly stop, while the latter implies an abrupt stop where the state and configuration of the element might need to be updated."Dormant"indicates that the element is inactive or quiesced."Supporting Entity in Error"indicates that this element might 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."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)."Power Mode"indicates that the element has additional power model information contained in the Associated PowerManagementService association.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.
Status string
Max Length10
A string indicating the current status of the object. Various operational and non-operational statuses are defined. This property is deprecated in lieu of OperationalStatus, which includes the same semantics in its enumeration. This change is made for 3 reasons:1) Status is more correctly defined as an array. This definition overcomes the limitation of describing status using a single value, when it is really a multi-valued property (for example, an element might be OK AND Stopped.2) A MaxLen of 10 is too restrictive and leads to unclear enumerated values.3) The change to a uint16 data type was discussed when CIM V2.0 was defined. However, existing V1.0 implementations used the string property and did not want to modify their code. Therefore, Status was grandfathered into the Schema. Use of the deprecated qualifier allows the maintenance of the existing property, but also permits an improved definition using OperationalStatus.
StatusDescriptions string
Strings describing the various OperationalStatus array values. For example, if"Stopping"is the value assigned to OperationalStatus, then this property may contain an explanation as to why an object is being stopped. Note that entries in this array are correlated with those at the same array index in OperationalStatus.
