Active Farm State

The active farm icon indicates that the farm is activated and is running. Upon activation, IP addresses are available and users can perform additional configuration and load software images. The following Service Processor states are possible for an active farm: ACTIVE, IDLE, BACKUP, UPDATED, WIRED, and DISPATCHED.

A farm design that is submitted for activation awaits approval and subsequent activation by an administrator. Place your cursor over the icon to see that the icon is labeled pending activation to reflect the transition state.
