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.

Preprovisioned

Module preprovisioning is available within the EM and device. Module preprovisioning essentially serves as a way to establish place holders for anticipated or expected hardware modules.

Using the EM, modules may be preprovisioned on the chassis map by way of predeployment and commissioning. Module predeployment occurs through manual deployment where the module type and slot number are indicated. Representative objects display within the EM, allowing for module configuration before the physical module is present in the device. Module preprovisioning occurs on the device when manually deployed, or predeployed, modules which are not yet present in the device are commissioned. Modules can also be preprovisioned upon predeployment if the card is not present and the object is in a given state (normal, performance logging on, or synchronizing.)

Preprovisioned modules allow for configuration to occur in advance of the module being physically in–place. Modules which have been predeployed and commissioned, either on the module level or through subchassis discovery, enter the preprovisioned state. Preprovisioned modules appear on the EM chassis map with double, or crisscrossed, hash marks.

Predeployed modules not yet commissioned (i.e., unprovisioned) remain in the decommissioned state. Once preprovisioned modules are present within the device, all configuration parameters entered through the EM or via IOS commands are applied to the card during discovery. Should the module which was preprovisioned be different from that found in the device, the module moves to the mismatched state. See the “Mismatched” section on the preceding page for additional information.

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; objects are discovering during this stage.
