Object

column obsolete OctetString
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 three reasons:
1) Status is more correctly defined
as an array property. 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.
