Server Status Icons in SA

Description

 

Planned

Indicates that a device record has been created for the server, but an SA OS Build Agent has not yet been installed on it. Servers in this stage cannot be provisioned until the OS Build Agent is installed.

In the SA Client, appears in the Unprovisioned Server list.

 

Unprovisioned — Unreachable

Indicates a server that has been registered with the core via the SA OS Build Agent, but has not reported as ready for provisioning recently. This may be due to networking problems between the server and the SA core or the server having been disconnected or powered off.

In the SA Client, appears in the Unprovisioned Server list.

 

Unprovisioned — Reachable

Indicates a server that has been registered with the core via the SA OS Build Agent and is available to have a target OS installed on it.

In the SA Client, appears in the Unprovisioned Server list.

 

Provisioning — Unreachable

Indicates a server on which SA OS Provisioning was in the process of installing the target OS, but for some reason stopped because the server is unable to communicate with the SA core.

In the SA Client, appears in the Unprovisioned Server list.

 

Provisioning — Reachable

Indicates a server on which SA OS Provisioning is in the process of installing the target OS.

In the SA Client, appears in the Unprovisioned Server list.

 

Provisioning Failed — Unreachable

Indicates an available server on which an error occurred while the OS Provisioning Subsystem was installing a target OS, and that the server is not able to communicate with the SA core.

In the SA Client, appears in the Unprovisioned Server list.

 

Provisioning Failed — Reachable

Indicates an available server on which an error occurred while the OS Provisioning Subsystem was installing a target OS.

In the SA Client, appears in the Unprovisioned Server list.

 

Managed — Reachable

Indicates a server has an a Server Agent is running on it and that it is able to communicate with the SA core.

In the SA Client, appears in the All Managed Servers list and Oracle Solaris Zones.

 

Managed — Unreachable

Indicates a managed server cannot communicate with the SA core (it is Not Reachable).

If you want to discover reasons why the managed server is unreachable, you can run a Communication Test. See Running server communication tests for more information.

In the SA Client, appears in the All Managed Servers list and Oracle Solaris Zones.

 

Unmanaged

Indicates the server is unmanaged, which means it does not have a Server Agent installed on it.

For unmanaged virtual servers, this means that someone created a VMware Virtual Machine (VM) or Solaris local zone outside of SA and thus does not have a Server Agent installed on it.

For virtual servers, this state could also mean that the VMware VM is has not yet been provisioned, or that your user belongs to a group that does not have permissions to perform operations on this virtual server.

For more information on installing a Server Agent on an unmanaged server, see Installing the SA Agent.

 

Deactivated

Indicates a server that was deactivated in SA so that it is currently not managed and is no longer reachable.

Appears in the Manage Servers list and in the server lists in the SA wizards (however, it is not selectable in the wizards).

 

Scheduled

Indicates a server that is scheduled for an operation (install software, uninstall software, and so forth).

In the SA Client, appears in the Job Logs list.

 

Error

Indicates a managed server on which an error occurred while SA was installing or uninstalling software.

Warning

Indicates a managed server on which a warning occurred while SA was installing or uninstalling software.

Appears in the My Jobs panel in the home page and in the list in the My Jobs page.

 

Application Configuration Out of Sync

Indicates a managed server on which the configuration file on the server is out of sync with the Application Configuration Template (SA model).

Appears only in the Application Configuration feature and the server list in the SA Client.

 

Static Device Group

Indicates a static server group. The same states that apply to single servers apply to groups.

See Server Groups for more information about the different types of server groups.

 

Dynamic Device Group

Indicates a dynamic server group. The same states that apply to single servers apply to groups.

Indicates a public and static server group. The same states that apply to single servers apply to groups.

The following table describes the server status for managed servers.

The Status property is represented by an icon in the first column in the Manage Servers list.

Status (short for Agent Status) is set automatically by SA.

SA toggles each server between OK and Not Reachable by reachability checks.

The Status value specifies the ability of SA to manage servers. SA automatically detects the status of servers. To verify the current status of a server, click Update in the Server Properties page for that server.
