| Description | This is a conceptual table which contain only one row. The
row is used to setup the parameters required to execute a
particular action on the file system. Depending on the action,
certain number of parameters will apply and will be required
to be configured when the action is executed. Once the action
executes, the parameters set for the action will be cleared and
the status of the action (error code or success code) will be
available for query in the dellLanFileActionResultCode field.
NOTE that since the action is immediately executed, all parameters
required for the action must be given in the same SNMP set request
in a single varbind. The action type dellLanFileActionCommand
must be included in each SNMP set request otherwise an error will
be returned.
Some of the actions may take a long time to complete, for these
actions, the user should poll the dellLanFileActionResultCode
until a valid result is returned. When the system is working on
an action this parameter will return 'statusPending'. While the
status is 'statusPending' the system will not honor any new
file system request. If the user tries to send a file system
action request during this time, the SNMP SET to execute the
action will return with an SNMP error and the status will remain
'statusPending' until the last operation has completed.
The correct usage for this table should be:
- first query the 'dellLanFileActionResultCode' to see if the
system is free to execute a file action request. If the
query returns 'statusPending' then don't try the action yet.
Keep polling until the result of this parameter is something
other then 'statusPending'.
- once the system is ready, compose a single SNMP request with
all parameters required for a given action (see the description
below in the Entry definition).
- send an SNMP SET for this request, if the SET failed with an
SNMP error then something is wrong with the way the request is
composed.
- if the SNMP SET response is success, then start polling the
dellLanFileActionResultCode to determine the status of the
action. |
