Appliance states

Details of the appliance state during backup, restore, and migration jobs.

Table 1. Appliance statesThe following table provides a list of appliance states:
Appliance state	Write actions: New jobs	Description
RUNNING	Enabled	In this state, all features of the appliance are accessible and fully functional. This state is the default state of the appliance.
MAINTENANCE_PENDING	Restricted	A banner is displayed at the top of the UI when the administrator begins a backup, restore, or migration process. The banner is also displayed when the scheduling process initiates the backup process that is based on a predefined schedule.
MAINTENANCE	Restricted	A banner appears at the top of the OpenManage Enterprise UI during backup or when migration data is ready on the destination appliance. The migrate-out appliance must be in this state before the streaming operation can be activated.
Streaming	Restricted	A banner is displayed at the top of the OpenManage Enterprise UI when the compressed backup file is being transferred to the migrate-in appliance. The target VM initiates the streaming operation. If the data is successfully transferred, the source VM enters the STREAMING_COMPLETED state. If the data transfer is not successfully transferred, the appliance reverts to the MAINTENANCE state.
Streaming Completed	Restricted	A banner is displayed at the top of the OpenManage Enterprise UI when the compressed backup file transfer is completed to the migrate-in appliance.
Decommission Ready	Restricted	The VM enters this state once the target VM notifies the source VM that the extraction and import of the data is successful. All the generated backup payloads that were streamed over are deleted from the appliance. The login UI color and text is modified on the migrate-out appliance once the migration is completed. NOTE:Only admin can log in to the console but instead of the dashboard, a message is displayed declaring that the appliance is ready to be decommissioned. The admin state can bring the appliance back to the RUNNING state which is highly discouraged. The administrator recommended action is to power off and archive the VM.
