Status of ESX Agency
Scope Changes
When a solution
updates its ESX agency scope, ESX Agent Manager provisions new ESX agents on
new hosts and removes ESX agents from hosts that are no longer in the scope.
When the scope of an ESX
agency changes,
detects the change and displays the status of the ESX
agents in the scope and operations that are in progress. You can add functions
in the solution definition to remediate the issues, or the solution can report
the issues so that administrators can fix them manually.
When a solution adds or
removes compute resources from the ESX agency scope, the status of the ESX
agency changes as the solution works to achieve the goal state of the ESX
agency.
Scope Change
| Current ESX Agency State
| ESX Agency Status
|
|---|---|---|
Add compute resource.
| Undeployed
| Unchanged. New ESX agents always start in the
undeployed state.
|
Remove compute resource.
| Undeployed
| Unchanged. Old ESX agents that the solution has
not removed yet are pending undeployment.
|
Add compute resource.
| Disabled
| Yellow, until the solution deploys the ESX
agents on the new compute resource.
|
Remove compute resource.
| Disabled
| Yellow, until the solution undeploys the ESX
agents from the compute resource.
|
Add compute resource.
| Enabled
| Yellow, until the solution deploys the ESX
agents on the new compute resource, starts the ESX agents, and receives
heartbeats.
|
Remove compute resource.
| Enabled
| Yellow, until the solution stops and undeploys
the ESX agents from the compute resource.
