Description: This function allows the HPI SNMP Manager to configure a timeout for how long to wait before the default auto-insertion policy is invoked on a resource within a specific domain.

This columnar node accepts a parameter instructing each resource to impose a delay before performing its default hot swap policy for auto-insertion. The parameter may be set to SAHPI_TIMEOUT_IMMEDIATE ( see SaHpiTime Textual-Convention for further details) to direct resources to proceed immediately to auto-insertion, or to SAHPI_TIMEOUT_BLOCK ( see SaHpiTime Textual-Convention for further details) to prevent auto-insertion from ever occurring. If the parameter is set to another value, then it defines the number of nanoseconds between the time a hot swap event with hpiHotSwapState == insertionPending(5) is generated, and the time that the auto-insertion policy will be invoked for that resource. If, during this time period, a hpiHotSwapPolicyCancel function call is processed, the timer will be stopped, and the auto-insertion policy will not be invoked. Each domain maintains a single auto-insert timeout value and it is applied to all contained resources upon insertion, which support managed hot swap. Once the auto-insertion process begins, the HPI SNMP Manager will not be allowed to take control of the insertion process; hence, the timeout should be set appropriately to allow for this condition. Note that the timeout period begins when the hot swap event with hpiHotSwapState == insertionPending(5) is initially generated.
