Name | Data Type | Qualifiers |
Name | Data Type | Value | Scope | Flavors |
Availability | uint16 |
Description | string | The primary availability and status of the Device. (Additional status information can be specified using the Additional Availability array property.) For example, the Availability property indicates that the Device is running and has full power (value=3), or is in a warning (4), test (5), degraded (10) or power save state (values 13-15 and 17). Regarding the Power Save states, these are defined as follows: Value 13 ("Power Save - Unknown") indicates that the Device is known to be in a power save mode, but its exact status in this mode is unknown; 14 ("Power Save - Low Power Mode") indicates that the Device is in a power save state but still functioning, and may exhibit degraded performance; 15 ("Power Save - Standby") describes that the Device is not functioning but could be brought to full power 'quickly'; and value 17 ("Power Save - Warning") indicates that the Device is in a warning state, though also in a power save mode. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |

Caption | string |
Description | string | The Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
MaxLen | uint32 | 64 | None | None |
CompressionMethod | string |
Description | string | A free form string indicating the algorithm or tool used by the device to support compression. If it is not possible or not desired to describe the compression scheme (perhaps because it is not known), recommend using the following words: "Unknown" to represent that it is not known whether the device supports compression capabilities or not, "Compressed" to represent that the device supports compression capabilities but either its compression scheme is not known or not disclosed, and "Not Compressed" to represent that the devices does not support compression capabilities. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
CreationClassName | string |
Description | string | CreationClassName indicates the name of the class or the subclass used in the creation of an instance. When used with the other key properties of this class, this property allows all instances of this class and its subclasses to be uniquely identified. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
Key | boolean | true | None | OVERRIDABLE= false

Key | boolean | true | None | OVERRIDABLE= false
|
MaxLen | uint32 | 64 | None | None |
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 |
EnabledDefault | uint16 |
Description | string | An enumerated value indicating an administrator's default/startup configuration for an element's Enabled State. By default, the element is "Enabled" (value=2). | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
ValueMap | string | 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8..32767, 32768..65535 | None | None |
Values | string | Enabled, Disabled, Not Applicable, Enabled but Offline, No Default, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Reserved | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
Write | boolean | true | None | None |
EnabledState | uint16 |
Description | string | EnabledState is an integer enumeration that indicates the enabled/disabled states of an element. It can also indicate the transitions between these requested states. For example, shutting down (value = 4) and starting (value=10) are transient states between enabled and disabled. The following text briefly summarizes the various enabled/disabled states:
Enabled (2) indicates that the element is/could be executing commands, will process any queued commands, and queues new requests.
Disabled (3) indicates that the element will not execute commands and will drop any new requests.
Shutting Down (4) indicates that the element is in the process of going to a Disabled state.
Not Applicable (5) indicates the element doesn't support being enabled/disabled.
Enabled but Offline (6) indicates that the element may be completing commands, and will drop any new requests.
Test (7) indicates that the element is in a test state.
Deferred (8) indicates that the element may be completing commands, but will queue any new requests.
Quiesce (9) indicates that the element is enabled but in a restricted mode. The element's behavior is similar to the Enabled state, but it only processes a restricted set of commands. All other requests are queued.
Starting (10) indicates that the element is in the process of going to an Enabled state. New requests are queued. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_EnabledLogicalElement.OtherEnabledState | None | None |
ValueMap | string | 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11..32767, 32768..65535 | None | None |
Values | string | Unknown, Other, Enabled, Disabled, Shutting Down, Not Applicable, Enabled but Offline, In Test, Deferred, Quiesce, Starting, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Reserved | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
ErrorCleared | boolean |
Deprecated | string | CIM_ManagedSystemElement.OperationalStatus | TOSUBCLASS= false | None |
Description | string | ErrorCleared is a boolean property indicating that the error reported in LastErrorCode is now cleared. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
ErrorDescription | string |
Deprecated | string | CIM_DeviceErrorData.ErrorDescription | TOSUBCLASS= false | None |
Description | string | ErrorDescription is a free-form string supplying more information about the error recorded in LastErrorCode, and information on any corrective actions that may be taken. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
ErrorMethodology | string |
Description | string | ErrorMethodology is a free-form string describing the type(s) of error detection and correction supported by this Device. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
InstallDate | datetime |
Description | string | A datetime value indicating when the object was installed. A lack of a value does not indicate that the object is not installed. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
MappingStrings | string | MIF.DMTF|ComponentID|001.5 | None | None |
LastCleaned | datetime |
Description | string | The date and time on which the Device was last cleaned. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
LastErrorCode | uint32 |
Deprecated | string | CIM_DeviceErrorData.LastErrorCode | TOSUBCLASS= false | None |
Description | string | LastErrorCode captures the last error code reported by the LogicalDevice. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
LoadTime | uint64 |
Description | string | Time in milliseconds from 'load' to being able to read or write a Media. For example, for DiskDrives, this is the interval between a disk not spinning to the disk reporting that it is ready for read/write (ie, the disk spinning at nominal speeds). For TapeDrives, this is the time from a Media being injected to reporting that it is ready for an application. This is usually at the tape's BOT area. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
Units | string | MilliSeconds | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
MaxAccessTime | uint64 |
Description | string | Time in milliseconds to move from the first location on the Media to the location that is furthest with respect to time. For a DiskDrive, this represents full seek + full rotational delay. For TapeDrives, this represents a search from the beginning of the tape to the most physically distant point. (The end of a tape may be at its most physically distant point, but this is not necessarily true.) | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
Units | string | MilliSeconds | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
MaxBlockSize | uint64 |
Description | string | Maximum block size, in bytes, for media accessed by this Device. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
Units | string | Bytes | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
MaxMediaSize | uint64 |
Description | string | Maximum size, in KBytes, of media supported by this Device. KBytes is interpreted as the number of bytes multiplied by 1000 (NOT the number of bytes multiplied by 1024). | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
MappingStrings | string | MIF.DMTF|Sequential Access Devices|001.2, MIF.DMTF|Host Disk|001.5 | None | None |
MaxQuiesceTime | uint64 |
Deprecated | string | No value | TOSUBCLASS= false | None |
Description | string | The MaxQuiesceTime property has been deprecated. When evaluating the use of Quiesce, it was determine that this single property is not adequate for describing when a device will automatically exit a quiescent state. In fact, the most likely scenario for a device to exit a quiescent state was determined to be based on the number of outstanding requests queued rather than on a maximum time. This will be re-evaluated and repositioned later.
Maximum time in milliseconds, that a Device can run in a "Quiesced" state. A Device's state is defined in its Availability and AdditionalAvailability properties, where "Quiesced" is conveyed by the value 21. What occurs at the end of the time limit is device-specific. The Device may unquiesce, may offline or take other action. A value of 0 indicates that a Device can remain quiesced indefinitely. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
Units | string | MilliSeconds | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
MaxUnitsBeforeCleaning | uint64 |
Description | string | An unsigned integer indicating the maximum 'units' that can be used, with respect to the AccessDevice, before the Device should be cleaned. The property, UnitsDescription, defines how 'units' should be interpreted. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_MediaAccessDevice.UnitsDescription | None | None |
MediaIsLocked | boolean |
Description | string | True indicates that the media is locked in the Device and can not be ejected. For non-removeable Devices, this value should be true. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
MinBlockSize | uint64 |
Description | string | Minimum block size, in bytes, for media accessed by this Device. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
Units | string | Bytes | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
MountCount | uint64 |
Counter | boolean | true | None | None |
Description | string | For a MediaAccessDevice that supports removable Media, the number of times that Media have been mounted for data transfer or to clean the Device. For Devices accessing nonremovable Media, such as hard disks, this property is not applicable and should be set to 0. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
Name | string |
Description | string | The Name property defines the label by which the object is known. When subclassed, the Name property can be overridden to be a Key property. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
MaxLen | uint32 | 1024 | None | None |
NeedsCleaning | boolean |
Description | string | Boolean indicating that the MediaAccessDevice needs cleaning. Whether manual or automatic cleaning is possible is indicated in the Capabilities array property. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
NumberOfMediaSupported | uint32 |
Description | string | When the MediaAccessDevice supports multiple individual Media, this property defines the maximum number which can be supported or inserted. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
OtherEnabledState | string |
Description | string | A string describing the element's enabled/disabled state when the EnabledState property is set to 1 ("Other"). This property MUST be set to NULL when EnabledState is any value other than 1. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_EnabledLogicalElement.EnabledState | None | None |
PowerManagementSupported | boolean |
Deprecated | string | CIM_PowerManagementCapabilities | TOSUBCLASS= false | None |
Description | string | Boolean indicating that the Device can be power managed. The use of this property has been deprecated. Instead, the existence of an associated PowerManagementCapabilities class (associated using the ElementCapabilities relationhip) indicates that power management is supported. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
PowerOnHours | uint64 |
Counter | boolean | true | None | None |
Description | string | The number of consecutive hours that this Device has been powered, since its last power cycle. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
Units | string | Hours | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
RequestedState | uint16 |
Description | string | RequestedState is an integer enumeration indicating the last requested or desired state for the element. The actual state of the element is represented by EnabledState. This property is provided to compare the last requested and current enabled/disabled states. Note that when EnabledState is set to 5 ("Not Applicable"), then this property has no meaning. By default, the element's RequestedState is 5 ("No Change"). Refer to the EnabledState's property Description for explanations of the values in the RequestedState enumeration.
It should be noted that there are two new values in RequestedState that build on the statuses of EnabledState. These are "Reboot" (10) and "Reset" (11). The former, Reboot, refers to doing a "Shut Down" and then moving to an "Enabled" state. The latter, Reset, indicates that the element is first "Disabled" and then "Enabled". The distinction between requesting "Shut Down" and "Disabled" should also be noted. The former, Shut Down, requests an orderly transition to the Disabled state, and MAY involve removing power, to completely erase any existing state. The latter, 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 may be overridden and defined as WRITEable in a subclass. The method approach is considered superior to a WRITEable property, since it allows an explicit invocation of the operation and the return of a result code. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_EnabledLogicalElement.EnabledState | None | None |
ValueMap | string | 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, .., 32768..65535 | None | None |

Security | uint16 |
Description | string | An enumeration indicating the operational security defined for the MediaAccessDevice. For example, information that the Device is "Read Only" (value=4) or "Boot Bypass" (value=6) can be described using this property. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
MappingStrings | string | MIF.DMTF|Disks|003.22 | None | None |
ValueMap | string | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 | None | None |
Values | string | Other, Unknown, None, Read Only, Locked Out, Boot Bypass, Boot Bypass and Read Only | 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 |
StatusInfo | uint16 |
Deprecated | string | CIM_EnabledLogicalElement.EnabledState | TOSUBCLASS= false | None |
Description | string | The StatusInfo property indicates whether the Logical Device is in an enabled (value = 3), disabled (value = 4) or some other (1) or unknown (2) state. If this property does not apply to the LogicalDevice, the value, 5 ("Not Applicable"), should be used. StatusInfo has been deprecated in lieu of a more clearly named property with additional enumerated values (EnabledState), that is inherited from ManagedSystemElement.
If a Device is ("Enabled")(value=3), it has been powered up, and is configured and operational. The Device may or may not be functionally active, depending on whether its Availability (or AdditionalAvailability) indicate that it is ("Running/Full Power")(value=3) or ("Off line") (value=8). In an enabled but offline mode, a Device may be performing out-of-band requests, such as running Diagnostics. If ("Disabled") StatusInfo value=4), a Device can only be "enabled" or powered off. In a personal computer environment, ("Disabled") means that the Device's driver is not available in the stack. In other environments, a Device can be disabled by removing its configuration file. A disabled device is physically present in a System and consuming resources, but can not be communicated with until a load of a driver, a load of a configuration file or some other "enabling" activity has occurred. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
MappingStrings | string | MIF.DMTF|Operational State|006.4 | None | None |

Propagated | string | CIM_System.Name | None | OVERRIDABLE= false
|
TimeOfLastMount | datetime |
Description | string | For a MediaAccessDevice that supports removable Media, the most recent date and time that Media was mounted on the Device. For Devices accessing nonremovable Media, such as hard disks, this property has no meaning and is not applicable. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
TimeOfLastStateChange | datetime |
Description | string | The date/time when the element's EnabledState last changed. If the state of the element has not changed and this property is populated, then it MUST be set to a 0 interval value. If a state change was requested, but rejected or not yet processed, the property MUST NOT be updated. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
TotalMountTime | uint64 |
Description | string | For a MediaAccessDevice that supports removable Media, the total time (in seconds) that Media have been mounted for data transfer or to clean the Device. For Devices accessing nonremovable Media, such as hard disks, this property is not applicable and should be set to 0. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
TotalPowerOnHours | uint64 |
Counter | boolean | true | None | None |
Description | string | The total number of hours that this Device has been powered. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
Units | string | Hours | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
UncompressedDataRate | uint32 |
Description | string | The sustained data transfer rate in KB/sec that the Device can read from and write to a Media. This is a sustained, raw data rate. Maximum rates or rates assuming compression should not be reported in this property. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
Units | string | KiloBytes per Second | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
UnitsDescription | string |
Description | string | Defines 'Units' relative to its use in the property, MaxUnitsBeforeCleaning. This describes the criteria used to determine when the MediaAccessDevice should be cleaned. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_MediaAccessDevice.MaxUnitsBeforeCleaning, CIM_MediaAccessDevice.UnitsUsed | None | None |
UnitsUsed | uint64 |
Description | string | An unsigned integer indicating the currently used 'units' of the AccessDevice, helpful to describe when the Device may require cleaning. The property, UnitsDescription, defines how 'units' should be interpreted. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
Gauge | boolean | true | None | None |
ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_MediaAccessDevice.UnitsDescription, CIM_MediaAccessDevice.MaxUnitsBeforeCleaning | None | None |
UnloadTime | uint64 |
Description | string | Time in milliseconds from being able to read or write a Media to its 'unload'. For example, for DiskDrives, this is the interval between a disk spinning at nominal speeds and a disk not spinning. For TapeDrives, this is the time for a Media to go from its BOT to being fully ejected and accessible to a PickerElement or human operator. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
Units | string | MilliSeconds | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
AdditionalAvailability | uint16[] |
Description | string | Additional availability and status of the Device, beyond that specified in the Availability property. The Availability property denotes the primary status and availability of the Device. In some cases, this will not be sufficient to denote the complete status of the Device. In those cases, the AdditionalAvailability property can be used to provide further information. For example, a Device's primary Availability may be "Off line" (value=8), but it may also be in a low power state (AdditonalAvailability value=14), or the Device could be running Diagnostics (AdditionalAvailability value=5, "In Test"). | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |

Capabilities | uint16[] |
ArrayType | string | Indexed | None | OVERRIDABLE= false
|
Description | string | Capabilities of the MediaAccessDevice. For example, the Device may support "Random Access", removeable media and "Automatic Cleaning". In this case, the values 3, 7 and 9 would be written to the array.
Several of the enumerated values require some explanation: 1) Value 11, Supports Dual Sided Media, distinguishes a Device that can access both sides of dual sided Media, from a Device that reads only a single side and requires the Media to be flipped; and, 2) Value 12, Predismount Eject Not Required, indicates that Media does not have to be explicitly ejected from the Device before being accessed by a PickerElement. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |

ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_LogicalDevice.OtherIdentifyingInfo | None | None |
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 |
