Hi Proposed Resolution ent-state-72: In the description of entStateUsage replace "The usage state for this entity." With "The usage state for this entity. Note that in the context of a physical entity, this object refers to an entity's ability to service more physical entities in a containment hierarchy. A value of idle means that no other entity is contained within this entity, as would have been demonstrated by a value of entPhysicalContainedIn that referenced this entity. A value of 'active' means that at least one entity is contained within this entity and therefore has a value of entPhysicalContainedIn that references this entity, but that it could handle more. A value of 'busy' means that the entity is unable to handle any additional entities being contained in it, as demonstrated by having a value of entPhysicalContainedIn that refers to this entity."

The distinction between 'active' and 'busy' is not clear. The difference between the two should be whether the entity has spare capacity to serve additional 'users'. A phrase in section 2 mentions that 'In the context of this MIB, the user is equivalent to an entity', and I do not really know how to interpret this. Can entStateUsage of an entity of type powerSupply have a value of 'active' if it does not provide all amperage it is capable of, or only 'busy' is acceptable, as 2.3.4.3 seems to indicate? Same question for a fan, that supports several speeds? " _______________________________________________ Entmib mailing list Entmib@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/entmib
