Description: The advisory lock current max owner timer (in seconds) in

use for ANY advisory lock in the 'xcmGenLockTable'.

Usage: This current max timer represents an XCMI enhancement to the traditional advisory lock mechanism used in existing IETF MIB modules (eg, RFC 1573). It provides reliable information to a management station contending for advisory locks, about the current MAXIMUM time until expiration for ALL advisory locks for the management agent on 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.
