Table 2-4 CE States
State Description
Offline Indicates that the CE is not available for use in the server. The CE is
typically in this state when it is powered down or if it cannot communicate
with an IOP because the ESI between the CE and IOP is not usable.
Ready Indicates that the CE is powered up and has established communications
with an IOP. After this state, the CE transitions to either Booting or Sync-
Slave (where CE synchronization is performed).
Booting Indicates that the CE(s) are in the process of booting the Windows NT
operating system from the IOP(s). This process typically takes a few
minutes, at which point the CE transitions to active.
Active Indicates that the CE is actively executing the Windows NT operating
system. The CE remains in this state until it is shutdown, fails, or is
removed from the configuration as a result of an Endurance Manager
command.
