VC GUI auto-deployment status and settings

The Auto-Deployment Settings are available in the GUI under the Domain Settings page, as shown in the following figure.

Deployment wait and retry states

During the deployment process, three states exist that could cause the process to stall until a condition is resolved by the user. The following conditions can cause these wait/retry states:

•Waiting for DHCP

•Waiting for TFTP

•Failed to Configure Domain

After the deployment process is in one of these wait/retry states, it remains in this state indefinitely until the condition is resolved or the deployment process is aborted by the user.

Waiting for DHCP

This wait/retry state is typically caused by not having the DHCP properly configured to support auto-deployment operations for the VC end-node being configured. If this occurs, verify the DHCP configuration contains proper entries for designating the TFTP server and TFTP file to be used for deployment of the VC end-node (typically by MAC address). The retry interval for this state is 5 minutes.
