Need to manage the state of a slot

[italobusi]

A slot can have the following states:

• Empty: no component is installed and no expected component has been provisioned;
• Installed & not expected: a component is inserted but no expected component has been provisioned;
• Expected & not Installed: an expected component has been provisioned but no component is currently installed;
• Installed & Expected: an expected component has been provisioned and it is currently installed;
• Mismatch of Installed & Expected: there is an inconsistency between the expected component and the installed component;
• Unavailable: this holder cannot accept the installation or provisioning of components (this is typically caused by a double width card installed next to this slot);
• Unknown: the state of the slot is not known;

Is there a need to manage/report these states within the network inventory?
