§ Allow deployments: Undoes the exclusion of the selected machines that was previously done by
the Deny deployments action.
§ Set label: Sets the label that is shown in the Machine column. For example, you can use the
network name of the machine as the label. If no label is provided, the Machine column shows
the MAC address of the machine.
11.4 States and results for machines
The State column shows the current state related to deployment.
The state can be one of the following:
§ Not ready: The machine is not connected to the deployment server; for example, the machine is
turned off.
For deployment to specific machines (p. 100), the deployment server will wake up the turned-off
machine when the scheduled time comes or when you start the task manually.
For deployment to any ready machines (p. 106), you will have to boot the machine into Acronis
Snap Deploy 4 Agent.
§ Ready: The machine is booted into Acronis Snap Deploy 4 Agent and is connected to the
deployment server, so the machine is ready for deployment.
§ In progress (shown as percentage complete): A deployment is currently being performed to the
machine.
§ Deployments denied: You excluded the machine from deployment (see the Deny deployments
(p. 120) action).
The Last result column shows the result of the last deployment operation on the machine.
The result can be one of the following:
§ Never deployed: No deployment has yet been performed on the machine since it was added to
the deployment server.
§ Succeeded: The deployment to the machine finished successfully.
§ Failed: The deployment to the machine failed. For example, no available license for performing
deployment has been found on the license server. If performing the deployment started but did
not finish successfully, the target disk or volume may be empty or contain inconsistent
information.
§ Canceled: You stopped the deployment task that was performing deployment to the machine
(see the Stop (p. 124) action). The master image was not deployed to the machine. The target
disk or volume may be empty or contain inconsistent information.
