What does the status of a node or cluster indicate?

As you deploy, enable, and disable nodes and clusters, the Configuration Manager gives you feedback. This feedback is visible in the Status column of the Manage Discovery Clusters pane. By default, clusters and nodes are grouped and sorted by Status.

The following table outlines each status of a cluster:

Disabled

The cluster is disabled and no new jobs will be processed. Any jobs currently running when the node was disabled will continue to process until they either complete or are canceled by the user.

Enabled

The cluster has at least one enabled node and is available to process jobs.

The following table outlines each status of a node:

Deploying

The node is currently being installed on the node computer.

Deployment Failed

The node could not be successfully deployed. For information on troubleshooting, see Node Issues .

Enabled

The node is online and available to process jobs.

Disabled

The node is disabled and no new jobs will be processed. If you attempt to disable a node while it is actively processing a task, you will be prompted to either cancel it or wait to disable the node until the task has completed.

Failed to Start

The node is still stopped, as the server was unable to start it.

Failed to Stop
