Property Description
NOTE: The value "No Change" (5) has been deprecated instead of indicating the
last requested state is "Unknown" (0). If the last requested or desired state is
unknown, RequestedState should have the value "Unknown" (0), but may have the
value "No Change" (5). Offline (6) indicates that the element has been requested to
transition to the Enabled but Offline EnabledState. There are two new values in
RequestedState that build on the statuses of EnabledState. These are "Reboot"
(10) and "Reset" (11). Reboot refers to doing a "Shut Down" and then moving to an
"Enabled" state. Reset indicates that the element is first "Disabled" and then
"Enabled".
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".
Stepping
Stepping is a free-form string that indicates the revision level of the Processor within
the Processor.Family.
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 Down5 = 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.
UniqueID
A globally unique identifier for the Processor. This identifier can be unique only within
a Processor Family.
UpgradeMethod
CPU socket information that includes data on how this Processor can be upgraded (if
upgrades are supported). This property is an integer enumeration.
Possible values are:
• 1 = Other
