OAM Boards table

The OAM Boards table contains:

The number of boards automatically detected in the system.
The total number of boards registered to the OAM API.
A table of boards, each with their keywords, values, and qualifiers.
Values that allow you to start or stop a board, test a board, or delete a board instance from the database.

The objects in the OAM Boards table (oamBoards) are:

Object	Description
detectedBoardCount	Number of boards automatically detected in the system.

To populate the Board Keyword table (boardTable), the OAM Database SNMP agent opens the NMS OAM Supervisor managed object and retrieves the values in Boards[x] keyword. This value is an array listing the boards managed by the board plug-ins running under the Supervisor. The agent opens the managed object for each listed board and creates a row in the Board Keyword table for each keyword in the managed object. Each keyword is given two indices:

The index of the board to which the keyword belongs (boardIndex). This value is equivalent to the index of the Boards[x] keyword listing the managed object. This index does not necessarily match the board number (the value of the Number keyword for the board).

A unique numerical index (boardKwIndex), 1 or higher.
