After initiating resource discovery,
PowerFlex Manager assigns one or more of the states to the resources. These operational states display on the
Resources page, in the
Deployment Status column of the
All Resources tab.
Deployment status
Description
Not In Use
Resource is available for deployment.
Available
Resource is available. Applies only to switches, virtual machine, or gateway.
Deploying
Resource is in the process of being deployed in a resource group.
In Use
Resource is deployed in a resource group.
Pending Updates
One or more of the following tasks are in progress:
Discovering resource
Determining resource details, including firmware version
Applying template to the resource
Updating firmware
Removing resource from
PowerFlex Manager inventory
Deployment Failed
Resource group deployment failed.
Cancelled
Resource group deployment is cancelled.
PowerFlex Manager keeps track of which resources it is managing. These operational states display on the
Resources page, in the
Managed State column of the
All Resources tab.
Managed state
Description
Managed
Indicates that
PowerFlex Manager manages the firmware on that node, and the node can be used for deployments.
Unmanaged
Indicates that the resource is not managed by
PowerFlex Manager.
By default, the operational state for all discovered nodes is
Unmanaged. If you want to perform firmware updates or deployments on a discovered node, you need to select the node and change the operational state to
Managed.
If you have not yet uploaded a license file,
PowerFlex Manager is configured for monitoring and alerting only. All resources are restricted to the
Unmanaged resource state, and you cannot change the state to
Managed or
Reserved.
Reserved
Indicates that
PowerFlex Manager only manages the firmware on that particular node, but that node cannot be used for deployments. You can assign a host to the reserved state only if the host has been discovered, but is not part of a resource group.
