Node states

Nodes in the inventory appear in various possible states. With the Fabric Inventory inventory view open, the State column displays the states of each node in the inventory. The possible states are:

Booted
Real hardware booted in the Fabric Services System. The node is not yet associated with a planned node.
In Discovery
Association of an individual planned node to real hardware has started, and is waiting for the connection.
Ready
An individual planned node has associated successfully with real hardware.
Not Ready
An individual planned node has not successfully associated with real hardware. When a node is in the Not Ready state, error codes describe the reason the association was unsuccessful. The following error codes are displayed in the Detailed Status column:
  • Unavailable: the connection failed.
  • ChassisMismatch: the planned node's chassis type is different from the real hardware.
  • VersionMismatch: the planned node's image version is different from the real hardware.
  • ManagementProfileMismatch: the error can be one of the following:
    • the management profile is missing for the association
    • the real-world node is using a management profile with a name that is different from the name in the planned node request
Unassociated
A planned node is not associated with any real hardware. The planned node may have made an association using a serial number, but the ZTP process has not completed.
