hpicfLinkTestNextIndex

A currently unassigned value of hpicfLinkTestIndex.
The value 0 indicates that no unassigned values are
available.
          
In order to cause a non-zero value of this object to
be assigned for use as the hpicfLinkTestIndex of a
future link test, it must be successfully modified by
a set operation.  When modified by a set operation,
the new value must precisely match the value
presently held by the object.  If not, the management
protocol set operation will fail.
          
Immediately after the completion of a successful set
operation, the agent must modify the value of this
object.  The algorithm for modifying the value is
implementation-dependent, and may use a subset of
values within the legal range.  However, the agent
must guarantee that the new value is not assigned to
any in-use value of hpicfLinkTestIndex.
          
A management station creates a new link test using
this algorithm:
          
   - issue a management protocol retrieval operation
     to obtain the value of hpicfLinkTestNextIndex;
     if the retrieved value is zero, a new link test
     cannot be created at this time;
          
   - issue a management protocol set operation for
     hpicfLinkTestNextIndex, supplying the same value
     as obtained in the previous step;
          
   - if the set operation succeeds, use the supplied
     value as the hpicfLinkTestIndex of the new
     link test; if the set operation fails, go back
     to the first step and obtain a new value for
     hpicfLinkTestNextIndex;
          
   - issue a management protocol set operation to
     create an instance of the hpicfLinkTestStatus
     object setting its value to 'createAndGo' or
     'createAndWait' (as specified in the description
     of the RowStatus textual convention).
          
 Note that the set of hpicfLinkTestNextIndex and the
 instance of hpicfLinkTestStatus may occur in the
 same set operation if desired.
