CurrentLanguage | string |
Description | string | The currently selected language for the BIOS. This information can be obtained from SMBIOS, using the Current Language attribute of the Type 13 structure, to index into the string list following the structure. The property is formatted using the ISO 639 Language Name, and may be followed by the ISO 3166 Territory Name and the encoding method. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |

Description | string |
Description | string | The Description property provides a textual description of the object. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
ElementName | string |
Description | string | A user-friendly name for the object. This property allows each instance to define a user-friendly name IN ADDITION TO its key properties/identity data, and description information.
Note that ManagedSystemElement's Name property is also defined as a user-friendly name. But, it is often subclassed to be a Key. It is not reasonable that the same property can convey both identity and a user friendly name, without inconsistencies. Where Name exists and is not a Key (such as for instances of LogicalDevice), the same information MAY be present in both the Name and ElementName properties. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |

SoftwareElementState | uint16 |
Description | string | The SoftwareElementState is defined in this model to identify various states of a SoftwareElement's life cycle.
- A SoftwareElement in the deployable state describes the details necessary to successfully distribute it and the details (Checks and Actions) required to move it to the installable state (i.e, the next state).
- A SoftwareElement in the installable state describes the details necessary to successfully install it and the details (Checks and Actions) required to create an element in the executable state (i.e., the next state).
- A SoftwareElement in the executable state describes the details necessary to successfully start it and the details (Checks and Actions) required to move it to the running state (i.e., the next state).
- A SoftwareElement in the running state describes the details necessary to manage the started element. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |

Status | string |
Deprecated | string | CIM_ManagedSystemElement.OperationalStatus | TOSUBCLASS= false | None |
Description | string | 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 overcomes the limitation of describing status via a single value, when it is really a multi-valued property (for example, an element may be OK AND Stopped. 2) A MaxLen of 10 is too restrictive and leads to unclear enumerated values. And, 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. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
MaxLen | uint32 | 10 | None | None |
ValueMap | string | OK, Error, Degraded, Unknown, Pred Fail, Starting, Stopping, Service, Stressed, NonRecover, No Contact, Lost Comm, Stopped | None | None |
TargetOperatingSystem | uint16 |
Description | string | The TargetOperatingSystem property specifies the element's operating system environment. The value of this property does not ensure that it is binary executable. Two other pieces of information are needed. First, the version of the OS needs to be specified using the class, CIM_OSVersion Check. The second piece of information is the architecture that the OS runs on. This information is verified using CIM_ArchitectureCheck. The combination of these constructs clearly identifies the level of OS required for a particular SoftwareElement. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |

ListOfLanguages | string[] |
Description | string | A list of installable languages for the BIOS. This information can be obtained from SMBIOS, from the string list that follows the Type 13 structure. An ISO 639 Language Name should be used to specify the BIOS' installable languages. The ISO 3166 Territory Name and the encoding method may also be specified, following the Language Name. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
OperationalStatus | uint16[] |
ArrayType | string | Indexed | None | OVERRIDABLE= false
|
Description | string | Indicates the current status(es) of the element. Various health and operational statuses are defined. Many of the enumeration's values are self- explanatory. However, a few are not and are described in more detail.
"Stressed" indicates that the element is functioning, but needs attention. Examples of "Stressed" states are overload, overheated, etc.
"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 element's state and configuration may need to be updated.
"Dormant" indicates that the element is inactive or quiesced.
"Supporting Entity in Error" describes that this element may 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 the element has completed its operation. This value should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded so that a client can till if the complete operation passed (Completed with OK), and failure (Completed with Error). Completed with Degraded would imply the operation finished, but did not complete OK or report an error.
"Power Mode" indicates 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 since it required the DEPRECATED qualifier. Due to the widespread use of the existing Status property in management applications, it is strongly RECOMMENDED that providers/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 (since it is single-valued) SHOULD also provide the primary status of the element. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
