The 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.
