3.11 IIpamAsyncProvision Server Details

This port type enables the provisioning of the IPAM data store, which is required before performing any other management activity. The provisioning activity can be a time-consuming activity. By taking the callback approach, it is possible to perform and complete the activity without running into operation timeouts that are managed by the lower layers. The following diagram shows the interaction between the management client and the management server to enable the provisioning scenario.
