Note

The Capabilities property indicates whether manual or automatic cleaning is possible.

This property is inherited from CIM_MediaAccessDevice.

Qualifiers: ArrayType ("Indexed"), ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_ManagedSystemElement.StatusDescriptions")

Contains indicators of the current status of the element. The first value of the OperationalStatus property should contain the primary status for the element.

Note

The OperationalStatus property replaces the deprecated Status property. Due to the widespread use of the existing Status property in management applications, we strongly recommend that providers or instrumentation provide both the Status and OperationalStatus properties. When instrumented, Status, because it is a single-valued property, should also provide the primary status of the element.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

Unknown (0)

Indicates that the implementation cannot report on the OperationalStatus property at this time.

Other (1)

Indicates an undefined state.

Indicates that the element has been intentionally stopped.

In Service (11)

Indicates that the element is in process to be configured, maintained, cleaned, or otherwise administered.

No Contact (12)

Indicates that the monitoring system has information about this element, but has never been able to establish communications with it.

Lost Communication (13)

Indicates that the monitoring system has successfully contacted this element in the past, but it is currently unavailable.

Aborted (14)

Indicates that the job stopped in an unexpected way. The state and configuration of the job might require an update.

Dormant (15)

Indicates that the job is inactive.

Supporting Entity in Error (16)

Indicates that an element on which this job depends is in error. This element might be OK but cannot function because of the state of a dependent element. An example is a network service or endpoint that cannot function due to lower-layer networking problems.

Completed (17)

Indicates that the job has completed its operation. This value should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded to indicate to a client whether the complete operation Completed with OK and passed, or completed with Error and failed, or completed with Degraded and finished the operation, but did not complete OK or did not report an error.

Power Mode (18)
