4.9 OMI version negotiation

In anticipation of future versions of OMI, some of which may not be compatible with earlier versions, the agent and server shall negotiate a commonly supported OMI version when establishing a session. This negotiation permits most new releases of OMI implementations to be installed 1 node at a time.

If the agent supports multiple OMI versions, it shall send connect requests for each until the server accepts one. 5.3.1 shows how the location and format of the version number in the connect requests of all versions are made accessible to servers of all versions.
