When a blade management controller or the AMM is reset, the blade inventory data is refreshed in the AMM database. This includes items like IBM VPD (e.g. - serial number, UUID) and MAC address information. Applications need to know when this information has been populated on the AMM before they begin to query it using SNMP or other means. This simple flag object will return a ready or notReady indication when all blades have completed initialization and the inventory information has been provided to the AMM. Note that due to blades that may be experiencing a 'communication failure' or 'initialization failure' condition, this object may continue to show notReady. Therefore, any application that polls this object should also incorporate a timeout period. As of AMM release v5.3, a 10 minute timeout seems to be a minimum suggested polling period. A more granular, per-blade status is available via the bladeSystemStatusTable
