Having coded my fair share of SNMP agents, my understanding
was what Randy's Tom. Tables have both a row status and a storage type
object typically.

Table row status, when one codes that state machine, was about
from the agent's cache to some other part of the system outside the agent
passing the appropriate StorageType flag or othwerise writing that bit of
config to persistent store.

So StorageType is often used with but not the same thing as RowStatus.
And yes that model, per row, was alot of state to maintain, RFC 3514.

I had some notes on using it in RFC 3512
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3512#section-3.8.2
