Description: If supported by the component, this attribute indicates the OSI Procedural status of the component. Note that, even though it is defined as a multi-valued set, at most one value is shown to the user.

When no values are in the set, this indicates that either the attribute is not supported or that none of the status conditions described below are present.

The value initializationRequired indicates (for a resource which doesn't initialize autonomously) that initialization is required before it can perform its normal functions, and this procedure has not been initiated. The operationalState is disabled.

The value notInitialized indicates (for a resource which does initialize autonomously) that initialization is required before it can perform its normal functions, and this procedure has not been initiated. The operationalState may be enabled or disabled.

The value initializing indicates that initialization has been initiated but is not yet complete. The operationalState may be enabled or disabled.

The value reporting indicates the resource has completed some processing operation and is notifying the results. The operationalState is enabled.

The value terminating indicates the component is in a termination phase. If the resource doesn't reinitialize autonomously, operationalState is disabled; otherwise it is enabled or disabled.
