XcmRsrcPersistence

• Base type Enumeration

Describes the persistence of this resource. Permanent, or resident, resources are built into the device and cannot be removed. They may, for example, be in ROM, or on hard disk with read-only access. (Note that HP PCL considers a resource to be 'permanent' if it persists across jobs, but such resources are not necessarily permanent by the definition used here.) Nonvolatile resources may be removed by appropriate action, but otherwise persist indefinitely, including across device power cycles. They may, for example, be on hard disk, or in a ROM cartridge. (The type of action required to remove the resource, e.g. file deletion or ROM cartridge removal, can generally be deduced from the hrStorageType of the storage device containing the resource.) Volatile resources are lost across device power cycles. They are typically in RAM. Reference: 'xcmRsrcHrStorageIndex' in this Resources MIB; and 'hrStorageType' in IETF Host Resources MIB (RFC 1514, September 1993) on page 8 (which directly relate to the actual level of 'persistence').
