Model to Model Comparisons

A Model to Model comparison is the simplest type of comparison. It compares the list of components that the provisioning software has installed on one host with the list of components that the provisioning software has installed on another host. This is purely a comparison of the records that the provisioning software has about what it has installed. If there have been out of band changes made to either component list, they will not be detected. A Model-to-Model comparison takes place entirely on the Master Server based on information it has received about what has been deployed.
