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 CiscoIOS 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.
