What is hwInuse?

This read-only INTEGER, true or false, indicates whether a module is currently executing its operational software. An admin checks this to confirm a module has actually loaded and is running its firmware, as opposed to being present but idle or administratively disabled. For example, a module showing hwDiagStatus as passed but hwInuse as false suggests the module is healthy but has been taken out of service via hwUseMod.
