Re: [netmod] FW: a question about ietf-hardware yang module

Hi,

I don't understand what is unclear about the current descriptions.  Is
it the relations to the MIB objects that are unclear or is it the
descriptions in the YANG module?  The original question was:

  My question is whether only configuration change of hardware
  component will cause the update of /hardware/last-change?

The answer is clearly "no", since /hardware/last-change says:

        "The time the '/hardware/component' list changed in the
         operational state.";

and this list has e.g.:

           When the server detects a new hardware component, it
           initializes a list entry in the operational state.

So it is clear that if a hardware component is added (not a
configuration change) this list is changed, and last-change is
updated.
