Submitting a Farm Design for Activation

In order to activate a farm after the farm is configured, you must first submit the farm for activation.

Control Center Rules Checking

The Control Center performs a rules check before the farm is submitted for activation. If errors exist in your design, you are prompted to correct the errors.

The following rules are checked:

• Every element must be configured according to the element's rules

• Every hardware element must have the required wiring connections

• A valid hardware device is configured for each element.

• No element configuration can contain a reference to deleted elements

• Every server must have a boot disk

• No circular loops can exist in the default gateway configuration

• The number of externally visible IP addresses that is needed cannot exceed the requested maximum

  Note –

  The Control Center does not validate that your resources are within any limits set by your contract or available within the I-Fabric at that point in time.

• Every server receiving traffic from a load balancer must have an interface on the data VLAN or a warning appears
