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.
