Understanding Device Statuses

The possible statuses that can be viewed on this page are:

Current Stage: Lists all devices that were configured to receive the selected update, regardless of status.

Pending Devices: Lists only the devices where the selected update is pending.

Successful Devices: Lists all of the devices where the selected update has been successfully deployed.

Failed Devices: Lists only the devices where the selected update failed.

Status by Device Panel Details

The following table explains the column information. For some columns, you can sort the listed information by clicking a column heading. Click it again to reverse the sorting order. This page refreshes automatically to allow you to work with devices as the updated is applied on them.

Column Heading	Explanation
Ignore Device	Displays a check mark next to ignored devices.
Device	The device’s name. Click it to display the device’s properties page in ZENworks Control Center.
Start Schedule	Displays the current schedule, if any has been set. Use the Reschedule Deployment action to reschedule the update. For more information, see Rescheduling a deployment.
Reboot Behavior	Displays the reboot behavior of devices after the update is deployed. Some updates do not require a device to be rebooted after they have been deployed to a device. However, if a reboot is required to complete the update process, the deployment is not completed until the device is rebooted. You have the following reboot options: Prompt User to Reboot When Update Finishes Applying (Default): After the update has been applied, a request to reboot is immediately displayed. If the user initially rejects rebooting, the user is periodically requested to reboot the device, until the device is rebooted. Do Not Reboot Device: The device does not reboot; however, the user is periodically requested to reboot the device, until the device is rebooted. Force Device to Reboot: After the update has been applied, the device is automatically rebooted without user intervention, if a reboot is required by the update.
Status	The current system update deployment status for the device. Click the status item to view information about the status. For more information on the individual statuses, see System Update Statuses.
Device Type	Whether the device is a server or workstation.
In Folder	Displays the ZENworks Control Center folder where the device’s ZENworks object resides.

Ignoring a device is helpful if a system update fails on a device and you want to continue with the deployment without resolving the error. For example, if a device is offline, you might want to ignore that device so that the deployment can continue.

Reschedule Devices	Click the check box next to one or more devices. Click Action > Reschedule Devices. Schedule the update, then click OK.	This option displays only when the system update deployment is scheduled. If the update has a schedule of Now, this option is not available.
