Deploying preprovisioned components

When a card, MDA, XCM, or XMA is installed in a preprovisioned slot, the device detects discrepancies between the preprovisioned card type configurations and the types actually installed. Similarly, for cards or XMAs that have license levels, the device also detects discrepancies between the provisioned level and the level of the installed card or XMA. Error messages display if there are inconsistencies and the card does not initialize.

When the correct preprovisioned cards are installed into the appropriate chassis slot, alarm, status, and performance details are displayed.

On bootup, or High Availability (HA) switchover, preprovisioned (and administratively enabled) slots are checked after an initial 15-minute period to ensure that they are present in the slot. If the card is not detected the system raises an alarm.
