hi folks

In investigating defects 10123 (stopping manual locations
produces unexpected events) and 10978 (nwamadm report
"incorrect" state) I've been left wondering if we should
really fail state changes which are redundant. At present,
if an already-enabled object is enabled, we
get an "entity is in use" error, while if we try to disable
an already-disabled object, we get an "invalid state"
error. This is inconsistent with SMF which allows enable
requests to succeed even if the object is already enabled.

I'm proposing that we change this so that such
redundant requests do not trigger an error, and
that we get rid of the NWAM_ENTITY_INVALID_STATE
error code (since it's only used in this scenario). Does
this sound reasonable? Thanks!

Alan
