Boot States

After selecting an individual node from your site, you will be able to see what state PLC currently believes the node to be in. There are several recognized boot states:

• Boot - The node is able to contact PLC, and should allow the creation of slices and for users to access these slices.
• Debug - The node is running, but slice users are not permitted access. Only PlanetLab staff or site administrators can access the node. This is also called "Safe" mode.
• Install - When a machine is initially added to the PLC database, it is set to install mode. When booting, the machine will prompt a user to confirm that it is ok to wipe out the current content of the disk.
• Reinstall - Like Install but no confirmation is requested.
• New - Reserved
• Reconfigure - Reserved
