External States

External states are represented as strings. The following list shows the valid farm external state values:

• NEW–Farm is just created

• ACTIVE–Farm is active and ready for the customer

• INACTIVE–Farm is inactive

• STANDBY–Farm is in standby mode

Figure 6–1 illustrates the external farm states and state transitions:

These external states do not map exactly to the farm lifecycle states displayed in the Control Center. For example, there is no equivalent Design state in external states, and there is no equivalent New state in the Control Center.
