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.
