Table 4-3 Description of target details table
Description Column heading
The name of the operation Operation Name
Pending: If this is the first operation, execution of the task for the
target has not started. For any other operation, Pending means that
one or more of the preceding operations has a non-terminal status.
Running: This operation is being run. A percent complete is also
displayed. Only one operation for a target can be run at a time.
Operations for a target run sequentially.
Cancelling: An operation enters this state either as a result of selecting
the Stop button for the target or for the task. This means an attempt is
being made to cancel the operation An operation with a Cancelling
status might end in the terminal status Complete, Failed or
Cancelled
. If an operation status goes to Complete or Failed, it
means that the operation could not be cancelled before the operation
completed execution. If an operation could not be cancelled, the cancel
occurs between operations. If there is a subsequent operation, its state
is Cancelled.
NOTE: When an operation has a status of Cancelling, the target
status is Cancelled, but the end time is empty for both the operation
and the target.
Non-terminal
operation status Status
Complete: The execution of the operation completed as expected.
Failed: The operation was not successful.
Cancelled: You pressed the Stop button for the target or task and this
operation was the last one run or the next one to run.
Not Executed: All operations following an operation with the Failed
or Cancelled status have a status of Not Executed. This indicates that
no part of the operation was executed.
Terminal operation
status
This is the time at which the execution of this operation began for the
target. If an operation has a status of Pending, the value of the Start
Time column for that row is blank. Start time
This is the time at which the execution of the operation completed for
the target, regardless of whether the result was successful. If the
operation has a non-terminal status, the value of the End Time column
for that row is blank End time
4.6 Scalable task results format
This section describes the portions of the Task Results page that are specific to the Scalable Task
Results Format. This option is only available when you run Insight Control for Linux tasks on
target servers such as Linux OS installation, image capture, or image deployment. Task results
are reported based on operations within the task and are not based on the target server on which
a task was run.
To view task results based on operation, you must select the Use Scalable Task Results Format
radio button. This view is most useful when you are running a task on many targets at the same
time because it consolidates operation status on the target group as a whole rather than by
individual target.
Figure 4-9 illustrates the Scalable Task Results format for a single task instance of a Linux image
capture. The task results are based on the operations within the task. Task results are reported
by operation as the task runs on the target servers. The task results screen shows the percent
complete of each operation contained in the task, and shows the results on the target servers as
a group.
