When a component management controller or the MM is reset, the component inventory data is refreshed in the MM 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 MM before they begin to query it using SNMP or other means. This simple flag object will return a ready or notReady indication for each component regarding the status of this information. Notes: For components that are experiencing a 'communication failure' or 'initialization failure' condition, this object will continue to indicate notReady until the condition is resolved. Therefore, any application that polls this object should also incorporate a timeout period.
