"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."),

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. "
"\n2) 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"

"additional HealthStates in the future."),
