This read-create RowStatus object controls the operational status of an entry in the service instance table, governing creation, activation, and deletion of the row. An admin sets this when provisioning or removing an Ethernet virtual connection service instance on a port, and the row must typically be complete with a valid encapsulation mode before it can be brought active. For example, setting hh3cEvcSrvInstRowStatus to active(1) after configuring hh3cEvcSrvInstEncap and its SVLAN list objects puts the new service instance into service on that port.
