Property

Description

 

 

TFTP Server

The TFTP Server property displays the TFTP server used for the deployment operation. If

 

the TFTP Mode is "AUTO", then the value is populated with the server provided by

 

DHCP. If the TFTP Mode is "MANUAL", the value of the property is expected to be

 

provided by the user with the VCMCLI set autodeployment command, and can

 

also be configured in the GUI. This field allows an IPv4 or IPv6 address as well as a

 

DNS name.

 

 

TFTP File

The TFTP File property displays the VCMCLI configuration file used for the deployment

 

operation that exists on the TFTP server. If the TFTP Mode is "AUTO", then the value will

 

be populated with the server provided by DHCP. If the TFTP Mode is "MANUAL", the

 

value of the property is expected to be provided by the user with the VCMCLI set

 

autodeployment command, and can also be configured in the GUI.

In a successful deployment, the status is shown as "Completed". If the deployment process encountered a failure, the status indicates why the deployment process was not successful. Additional details about the failure can be found in the deployment log and can be used for initial troubleshooting.

The deployment status

To view only the status of the deployment, use the show auto-deployment status command as shown below:

->show auto-deployment status Completed

During the deployment process, you might see several values show up during the deployment. If a failure occurs during the deployment process, a failure status is shown for the deployment status.

The potential status values you might see during and after deployment operations are shown in the table in the section "Normal deployment status values (on page 298)."
