Hello Dan,
In the tracker
https://datatracker.ietf.org/idtracker/ballot/3035 about the
draft-ietf-netconf-partial-lock-09 you have the comment:
Discuss [2009-08-12]:
Late discussions among the editors and implementers of the
NETCONF standard raised the issue of possibly removing
partial-lock for startup, since it was clarified in 4741bis
that startup cannot be modified with edit-config. I am
holding a DISCUSS until the WG reaches the consensus on this issue.
ANSWER: startup and candidate datastores removed from the
scope in the already stored -10 draft. They can not be locked
with partial-lock. Startup was removed due to the argument
you raised, candidate because:
- partial-locking was always aimed predominantly towards the
running database.
Partially-Locking the candidate was always seen as a lesser
use-case included for completeness.
- a number of people objected that having partial locking
with a global commit operation will lead to problems
- the workgroup consensus was not broad enough
Please indicate if you can accept these answers!
regards Balazs
