Description: This object defines whether this row and the script controlled by this row are kept in volatile storage and lost upon reboot or if this row is backed up by non-volatile or permanent storage.

The storage type of this row always complies with the value of this entry if the value of the corresponding RowStatus object is `active'.

However, the storage type of the script controlled by this row may be different, if the value of this entry is `non-volatile'. The script controlled by this row is written into local non-volatile storage if the following condition becomes true:

(a) the URL contained in the smScriptSource object is empty and (b) the smScriptStorageType is `nonVolatile' and (c) the smScriptOperStatus is `enabled'

Setting this object to `volatile' removes a script from non-volatile storage if the script controlled by this row has been in non-volatile storage before. Attempts to set this object to permanent will always fail with an inconsistentValue error.

The value of smScriptStorageType is only meaningful if the value of the corresponding RowStatus object is `active'.

If smScriptStorageType has the value permanent(4), then all objects whose MAX-ACCESS value is read-create must be writable, with the exception of the smScriptStorageType and smScriptRowStatus objects, which shall be read-only.
