   Note –

   Requested devices may not be available at the time of the request because devices may be allocated to another farm during the activation process.

   The farm lifcycle icon displays pending active on mouse-over. The line connecting D and A turns red. The circle surrounding the A is animated to indicate the target farm state.

   

   The Main and Monitor screens display the most recently completed state of the farm. The Editor screen displays the requested state of the farm. When the activation process is complete, the Main and Monitor screens change to reflect that the Active state is now the most recently completed state of the farm. The farm lifecycle icon in the Editor changes to Active.
