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: \n"
"- software components such as application servers, databases, "
"and applications \n"
"- operating system components such as files, processes, and "
"threads \n"
"- device components such as disk drives, controllers, "
"processors, and printers \n"
"- physical components such as chips and cards." )]

[Description (
"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. \n"
"\"Stressed\" indicates that the element is functioning, "
"but needs attention. Examples of \"Stressed\" states are "
"overload, overheated, and so on. \n"
"\"Predictive Failure\" indicates that an element is "
"functioning nominally but predicting a failure in the "
"near future. \n"
"\"In Service\" describes an element being configured, "
"maintained, cleaned, or otherwise administered. \n"
"\"No Contact\" indicates that the monitoring system has "
"knowledge of this element, but has never been able to "
"establish communications with it. \n"
"\"Lost Communication\" indicates that the ManagedSystem "
"Element is known to exist and has been contacted "
"successfully in the past, but is currently unreachable. \n"
"\"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. \n"
"\"Dormant\" indicates that the element is inactive or "
"quiesced. \n"
"\"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. \n"
"\"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). \n"
"\"Power Mode\" indicates that the element has additional "
"power model information contained in the Associated "
"PowerManagementService association. \n"
"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." ),

[Deprecated { "CIM_ManagedSystemElement.OperationalStatus" },
Description (
"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: \n"
"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. \n"
"2) A MaxLen of 10 is too restrictive and leads to "
"unclear enumerated values. \n"
"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." ),

[Description (
"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: \n"
"\"Non-recoverable Error\" (30) - The element has "
"completely failed, and recovery is not possible. All "
"functionality provided by this element has been lost. \n"
"\"Critical Failure\" (25) - The element is "
"non-functional and recovery might not be possible. \n"
"\"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. \n"
"\"Minor Failure\" (15) - All functionality is available "
"but some might be degraded. \n"
"\"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. \n"
"\"OK\" (5) - The element is fully functional and is "
"operating within normal operational parameters and "
"without error. \n"
"\"Unknown\" (0) - The implementation cannot report on "
"HealthState at this time. \n"
"DMTF has reserved the unused portion of the continuum "
"for additional HealthStates in the future." ),
