xcmGenLockOwnerTimer 1.3.6.1.4.1.253.8.51.8.2.1.5

The advisory lock owner lock time remaining for the current 'owner' of this advisory lock (in seconds). Usage: A conforming management agent MAY choose to reduce the 'credit' granted as a result of a set to this owner lock timer, at its sole discretion (see 'xcmGenLockSupportMaxTimer' object). Usage: Conforming management stations, when they first create or activate rows in this table, SHALL set 'xcmGenLockRowStatus' to 'active(1)' (for static rows) or 'createAndGo(4)' (for dynamic rows), 'xcmGenLockOwnerString' (if an owner string is available), 'xcmGenLockOwnerSubtree' (if not 'zeroDotZero'), and 'xcmGenLockOwnerTimer' (to a suitable value) SIMULTANEOUSLY (in the same SNMP Set-Request PDU). Usage: Conforming management agents SHALL NOT accept sets to 'xcmGenLockOwnerString', or 'xcmGenLockOwnerSubtree' AFTER row creation (these objects are 'write-once'). Usage: A conforming management station MAY choose to increase or reduce the value of this owner lock timer, subsequent to initial row creation, for example to 'refresh' the timer for an additional time interval. Usage: A conforming management station SHALL NOT reduce the value of this owner lock timer to zero (as an indirect 'destroy' operation). A conforming management agent SHALL reject any such set to zero of this owner lock timer. Usage: This owner lock timer represents an XCMI enhancement to the traditional advisory lock mechanism used in existing IETF MIB modules (eg, RFC 1573). It provides reliable information to a management station (or management agent) contending for this advisory lock, about the MAXIMUM time until this advisory lock lock will be released (either by explicit action of the owner of the advisory lock or by 'timeout' handling of the management agent itself).
