Address Search Status
•In Use: A management station has obtained ownership.
•Not in Use: No other management station has obtained ownership.
A management station first retrieves the values of the appropriate instances of the Address Search Lock and Address Search Status objects, periodically repeating the retrieval if necessary, until the value of Address Search Status is ‘Not In Use’. The management station then tries to set the Address Search Lock In Use. If the set operation succeeds, then the management station has obtained ownership of the entry, and the value of Address Search Lock is incremented to 1. Failure of the set operation indicates that some other manager has obtained ownership of the entry.
