Object States

the chassis enters the mismatched state. To rectify this problem, you must either delete the predeployed chassis and deploy the correct one, or fix the IP address by re–entering the correct one in the chassis Management Information window.

Synchronizing

The EM provides capabilities to synchronize hardware components and settings between the management system (EM) and the device. By default, the device is the master in the synchronization policy. Therefore, synchronization mirrors the settings on the device to the management system; overwriting any existing data.

Synchronization can be extremely useful when a device has been operational for some time and the Cisco EMF management system is available to manage it.

Synchronizing occurs as a result of the following actions:

•Chassis commissioning

•Manual synchronization

•Auto synchronization

Manual synchronization is not available in C8500MGR.

When an object deploys and initially commissions, the state changes to discovery, then normal, then synchronizing. When the management system and device complete synchronization, the state changes to the appropriate post–commissioning state (typically normal).

Transient Object States

Certain states in the EM are temporary or transient, that is, they exist only for a short time while a process is underway. The following states are transient:

•Download—Temporary state when a Cisco IOS Download is processing

•Reset—Temporary state during a Cisco IOS Download, when the device reboots for the new image to take effect

•Discovery—Temporary state during subchassis discovery; during this stage, objects are discovering

•Commissioning—Temporary state during subchassis discovery; during this stage, the EM is determining which state to move each object into
