[OPSAWG] VMM-MIB: question about vmAdminState values

[Keiichi SHIMA]

Hi,

Let me ask one question about vmAdminState values.

In the latest VMM-MIB draft (http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-asai-vmm-mib-04.txt), 
the values for vmAdminState are defined as below.

INTEGER {
                       unknown(1),
                       other(2),
                       preparing(3),
                       running(4),
                       blocked(5),
                       suspending(6),
                       suspended(7),
                       resuming(8),
                       paused(9),
                       migrating(10),
                       shuttingdown(11),
                       shutdown(12),
                       crashed(13)
                    }

Also, how the state transits is shown in Figure 2.

However, in the above description, the 'blocked' state is quite unclear to me.

What precisely does the 'blocked' state mean?  When does a virtual machine 
transit to the 'blocked' state?  I think we need more text about the state, if 
we want to keep the state.
