Description: The operational state of a device.

NOTE: It is not mandatory that a managed device support all of the enumerated device states.

vfBoxActive(1) - The device is running and processing load.

vfBoxInMaintenance(2) - The device is online, but either the device as a whole, or one or more of its components are in maintenance mode. Maintenance mode could be described as a mode where diagnostics are being run on the device, or some tasks such as device configuration are being excuted on the device that has inhibited its normal operation.

vfBoxFaulty(3) - The device has experienced a faulty condition in one or more of its components.

vfBoxDisabled(4) - The device may not be in a faulty condition, but has been explicitly disabled from its normal mode of operation, such as when selected as the backup of a redundant pair.

vfBoxIdling(5) - The device is running in an idle state (no clients are currently active).

vfBoxInitializing(6) - This is a post bootstrap state where the device has been restarted, and is initializing its hardware and software components.

vfBoxResetting(7) - The device is in a post- reset cycle. Any information collected, or dynamic configuration of the device prior to this state may be lost.

What is vfBoxState?

This object reports the operational state of a managed box, such as running, in maintenance, faulty, disabled, idling, initializing, or resetting. Admins use it to understand exactly what a device is doing at a given moment, especially to distinguish a genuine fault from a routine maintenance or restart cycle. For example, a state of vfBoxFaulty(3) would tell an admin one or more components on that box have experienced a fault condition requiring attention.
