hpicfBackupLinkNextIndex

A currently unassigned value of
hpicfBackupLinkIndex.  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 hpicfBackupLinkIndex of a
future backup link configuration, 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 hpicfBackupLinkIndex.
          
A management station creates a new backup link using
this algorithm:
          
   - issue a management protocol retrieval operation
     to obtain the value of hpicfBackupLinkNextIndex;
     if the retrieved value is zero, a new backup
     link cannot be created at this time;
          
   - issue a management protocol set operation for
     hpicfBackupLinkNextIndex, supplying the same
     value as obtained in the previous step;
          
   - if the set operation succeeds, use the supplied
     value as the hpicfBackupLinkIndex of the new
     backup link; if the set operation fails, go back
     to the first step and obtain a new value for
     hpicfBackupLinkNextIndex;
          
   - issue a management protocol set operation to
     create an instance of the hpicfBackupLinkStatus
     object setting its value to 'createAndGo' or
     'createAndWait' (as specified in the description
     of the RowStatus textual convention).
          
 Note that the set of hpicfBackupLinkNextIndex and
 the instance of hpicfBackupLinkStatus may occur in
 the same set operation if desired.
