Does anyone know what is the dmi_vstamp type and what purpose does it serve?
dmi_vstamp is internal name for i_vstamp.

Arguably the least helpful answer I have ever seen.
A vstamp object is used internally by the system, at start-up, to validate the consistency of the server
and repository.
To add to what jrq has stated, vstamp is used by content server to determine if a particular object has changed.
