Object

column mandatory r/w Enumeration

The status of this alarm entry.
              
Setting this object to the value invalid(4) has the
effect of invalidating the corresponding entry.
That is, it effectively disassociates the mapping
identified with said entry.
It is an implementation-specific matter as to whether
the agent removes an invalidated entry from the table.
Accordingly, management stations must be prepared to
receive tabular information from agents that corresponds
to entries currently not in use.  Proper
interpretation of such entries requires examination
of the relevant cpqMeAlarmStatus object.
              
An existing instance of this object cannot be set to
createRequest(2).  This object may only be set to
createRequest(2) when this instance is created.  When
this object is created, the agent may wish to create
supplemental object instances to complete a conceptual
row in this table.  Immediately after completing the
create operation, the agent must set this object to
underCreation(3).
              
Entries shall exist in the underCreation(3) state until
the management station is finished configuring the
entry and sets this object to valid(1) or aborts,
setting this object to invalid(4).  The agent will
deny a request to modify an underCreation(3) entry to
be that of createRequest(2) in order to lessen problems
arising when multiple management stations may be trying
to add an entry with the same index.  If the agent
determines that an entry has been in the
underCreation(3) state for an abnormally long time,
it may decide that the management station has
crashed.  If the agent makes this decision,
it may set this object to invalid(4) to reclaim the
entry.  A prudent agent will understand that the
management station may need to wait for human input
and will allow for that possibility in its
determination of this abnormally long period.
              
If the agent has an entry which is valid(4) and it
is unable to query the particular ASN.1 object specified,
the agent should set the status to tempUnavailable(5).
The agent should continue to query that ASN.1 object,
and upon a successful query, the agent should set the
status back to valid(4).
