The processing state of ALL pending reconfiguration options of this host system. A write to this object by an (authorized) management station invokes a request for validation (or activation) of ALL pending reconfiguration options of this host system. A read of this object returns 'idle', 'validateInProgress', or 'activateInProgress' to report the processing state of the last 'validate...' or 'activate...' request. It is mandatory that a conforming management agent ensure that, at system initialization, this object SHALL be set to a value of 'idle'. Usage: Conforming management agents SHALL 'reject' any SNMP Set-Request to 'xcmGenReconfOptionState' while another management operation is already in progress (ie, while 'xcmGenReconfOptionState' is NOT equal to 'idle') with 'badValue' (SNMPv1) or 'inconsistentValue' (SNMPv2/v3). Usage: See section 3.4 'Secure Modes of Operation' and section 3.5 'Secure SNMP Get/Set Requests' in XCMI Security TC, for details of secure modes of access to this option state object.
