ElementSettingData represents the association between ManagedElements and applicable setting data. This association also describes whether this is a default or current setting. Each non-null, non-key property of the associated SettingData instance defines a setting value for the associated ManagedElement. The properties, IsDefault, IsCurrent, IsNext, IsMinimum, IsMaximum, and IsPending further qualify those setting values.
Note: the referenced SettingData instance does not reflect the current desired state of the referenced ManagedElement unless IsCurrent = “Is Current”.
When IsMinimum and/or IsMaximum properties have the value “Is Minimum” or “Is Maximum” respectively, the referenced SettingData instance reflects desired minimum or maximum values respectively. When IsMinimum and IsMaximum have any other value, the referenced SettingData reflects actual desired values.
uint16 IsMinimum
This property affects the interpretation of all non-null, non-enumerated, non-binary, numeric, non-key properties of the associated SettingData instance. All other properties of the associated SettingData instance are not affected by this property.
Note: It is assumed that the semantics of each property of this set are designed to be compared mathematically.
When IsMinimum = “Is Miniumum”, this property indicates that the affected property values specified in the associated SettingData instance shall define desired minimum setting values. The operational minimum values should be modeled as a properties of the CIM_ManagedElement instance.
When IsMinimum = “Is Not Miniumum”, this property indicates that the affected property values specified in the associated SettingData instance shall not define desired minimum setting values.
When IsMinimum = “Unknown”, this property indicates that the affected property values specified in the associated SettingData instance may correspond to minimum desired setting values.
When IsMinimum = “Not Applicable”, this property indicates that the affected property values specified in the associated SettingData instance shall not be interpreted with respect to whether each defines a desired minimum.

CIM_SettingData SettingData
The SettingData object that is associated with the element.
uint16 IsPending
An enumerated integer that indicates whether or not the referenced CIM_SettingData instance represents outstanding changes to the configuration of the referenced CIM_ManagedElement that are known to be pending and are in the process of being applied. A value of 0 “Unknown” indicates that the referenced instance of CIM_SettingData may represent the last configuration applied to the referenced CIM_ManagedElement. A value of 2 “Is Pending” shall indicate that the referenced instance of CIM_SettingData represents outstanding changes to the configuration of the referenced CIM_ManagedElement that are known to be pending. A value of 3 “Is Not Pending” shall indicate that the referenced instance of CIM_SettingData does not represent outstanding changes to the configuration of the referenced CIM_ManagedElement.

uint16 IsNext
An enumerated integer indicating whether or not the referenced setting is the next setting to be applied. For example, the application could take place on a re-initialization, reset, reconfiguration request. This could be a permanent setting, or a setting used only one time, as indicated by the flag. If it is a permanent setting then the setting is applied every time the managed element reinitializes, until this flag is manually reset. However, if it is single use, then the flag is automatically cleared after the settings are applied. Also note that if this flag is specified (i.e. set to value other than “Unknown”), then this takes precedence over any SettingData that may have been specified as Default. For example: If the managed element is a computer system, and the value of this flag is “Is Next”, then the setting will be effective next time the system resets. And, unless this flag is changed, it will persist for subsequent system resets. However, if this flag is set to “Is Next For Single Use”, then this setting will only be used once and the flag would be reset after that to “Is Not Next”. So, in the above example, if the system reboots in a quick succession, the setting will not be used at the second reboot.

uint16 IsCurrent
An enumerated integer that indicates that the referenced SettingData represents the last requested values for attributes of the Managed Element or that this information is unknown.
Attributes of the SettingData itself indicate whether it represents the last configuration applied to the ManagedElement or is a transient snapshot of the requested settings. Current operational characteristics of a ManagedElement should be represented with properties of the ManagedElement. element or that this information is unknown.
For a given ManagedElement and all instances of a SettingData subclass, there shall be at most one instance of ElementSettingData which references the ManagedElement and an instance of the SettingData sub-class where there is a specified non-null, non-key property of the SettingData sub-class, and the IsMaximum property on the referencing ElementSettingData instance has a value of “Is Maximum” or the IsMinimum property on the referencing ElementSettingData instance has a value of “Is Minimum” and the IsCurrent property on the referencing ElementSettingData instance has a value of “Is Current”. There shall be at most one instance of ElementSettingData which references a ManagedElement and an instance of a SettingData sub-class where the IsCurrent property has a value of “Is Current” and the IsMinimum property does not have a value of “Is Minimum” and the IsMaximum property does not have a value of “Is Maximum”.

CIM_ManagedElement ManagedElement
The managed element.
uint16 IsMaximum
This property affects the interpretation of all non-null, non-enumerated, non-binary, numeric, non-key properties of the associated SettingData instance. All other properties of the associated SettingData instance are not affected by this property.
Note: It is assumed that the semantics of each property of this set are designed to be compared mathematically.
When IsMaximum = “Is Maxiumum”, this property indicates that the affected property values specified in the associated SettingData instance shall define desired maximum setting values. The operational maximum values should be modeled as a properties of the CIM_ManagedElement instance.
When IsMaximum = “Is Not Maxiumum”, this property indicates that the affected property values specified in the associated SettingData instance shall not define desired maximum setting values.
When IsMaximum = “Unknown”, this property indicates that the affected property values specified in the associated SettingData instance may correspond to maximum desired setting values.
When IsMaximum = “Not Applicable”, this property indicates that the affected property values specified in the associated SettingData instance shall not be interpreted with respect to whether each defines a desired maximum.
