A table containing 'advisory contention lock' objects for various subtrees of MIB objects from the complete set of IETF and XCMI MIB modules implemented by this host system. Note: To acquire an advisory lock on an ENTIRE host system, a conforming management station (or management agent) SHALL examine 'xcmGenLockCurrentMaxTimer', add an appropriate delta for eventual processing, and lock the 'xcmGenLockTable' itself. When 'xcmGenLockCurrentLockCount' subsequently becomes one (1), the requesting management station (or management agent) has acquired a lock on the ENTIRE host system (since no OTHER entity MAY acquire any further lock, because 'xcmGenLockTable' has become 'read-only' to all other entities), and MAY proceed accordingly.
