CaptionStringThe Caption property is a short textual description (one-line string) of the object.
DescriptionStringThe Description property provides a textual description of the object.
InstallDateDateTimeThe InstallDate property is datetime value indicating when the object was installed. A lack of a value does not indicate that the object is not installed.
NameStringThe Name property defines the label by which the object is known. When subclassed, the Name property can be overridden to be a Key property.
StatusStringThe Status property is a string indicating the current status of the object. Various operational and non-operational statuses can be defined. Operational statuses are "OK", "Degraded" and "Pred Fail". "Pred Fail" indicates that an element may be functioning properly but predicting a failure in the near future. An example is a SMART-enabled hard drive. Non-operational statuses can also be specified. These are "Error", "Starting", "Stopping" and "Service". The latter, "Service", could apply during mirror-resilvering of a disk, reload of a user permissions list, or other administrative work. Not all such work is on-line, yet the managed element is neither "OK" nor in one of the other states.
