| CIMStatusCode | uint32 |
| Description | string | The CIM status code that characterizes this instance.
This property defines the status codes that MAY be return by a conforming CIM Server or Listener. Note that not all status codes are valid for each operation. The specification for each operation SHOULD define the status codes that may be returned by that operation.
The following values for CIM status code are defined:
1 - CIM_ERR_FAILED. A general error occurred that is not covered by a more specific error code.
2 - CIM_ERR_ACCESS_DENIED. Access to a CIM resource was not available to the client.
3 - CIM_ERR_INVALID_NAMESPACE. The target namespace does not exist.
4 - CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER. One or more parameter values passed to the method were invalid.
5 - CIM_ERR_INVALID_CLASS. The specified Class does not exist.
6 - CIM_ERR_NOT_FOUND. The requested object could not be found.
7 - CIM_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED. The requested operation is not supported.
8 - CIM_ERR_CLASS_HAS_CHILDREN. Operation cannot be carried out on this class since it has instances.
9 - CIM_ERR_CLASS_HAS_INSTANCES. Operation cannot be carried out on this class since it has instances.
10 - CIM_ERR_INVALID_SUPERCLASS. Operation cannot be carried out since the specified superclass does not exist.
11 - CIM_ERR_ALREADY_EXISTS. Operation cannot be carried out because an object already exists.
12 - CIM_ERR_NO_SUCH_PROPERTY. The specified Property does not exist.
13 - CIM_ERR_TYPE_MISMATCH. The value supplied is incompatible with the type.
14 - CIM_ERR_QUERY_LANGUAGE_NOT_SUPPORTED. The query language is not recognized or supported.
15 - CIM_ERR_INVALID_QUERY. The query is not valid for the specified query language.
16 - CIM_ERR_METHOD_NOT_AVAILABLE. The extrinsic Method could not be executed.
17 - CIM_ERR_METHOD_NOT_FOUND. The specified extrinsic Method does not exist.
18 - CIM_ERR_UNEXPECTED_RESPONSE. The returned response to the asynchronous operation was not expected.
19 - CIM_ERR_INVALID_RESPONSE_DESTINATION. The specified destination for the asynchronous response is not valid.
20 - CIM_ERR_NAMESPACE_NOT_EMPTY. The specified Namespace is not empty. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |

4 - Software Error. Error of this type are principally associated with a software or processing fault.
5 - Hardware Error. Errors of this type are principally associated with an equipment or hardware failure.
6 - Environmental Error. Errors of this type are principally associated with a failure condition relating the to facility, or other environmental considerations.

| PerceivedSeverity | uint16 |
| Description | string | An enumerated value that describes the severity of the Indication from the notifier's point of view:
1 - Other, by CIM convention, is used to indicate that the Severity's value can be found in the OtherSeverity property.
3 - Degraded/Warning should be used when its appropriate to let the user decide if action is needed.
4 - Minor should be used to indicate action is needed, but the situation is not serious at this time.
5 - Major should be used to indicate action is needed NOW.
6 - Critical should be used to indicate action is needed NOW and the scope is broad (perhaps an imminent outage to a critical resource will result).
7 - Fatal/NonRecoverable should be used to indicate an error occurred, but it's too late to take remedial action.
