CID statuses and record fields

The CIDs page combines connectivity, software, and configuration information for each CID. Use these definitions when monitoring a CID or deciding whether it is ready for maintenance.

CID status

CID Hub displays the most significant current operating state.

Status	Meaning
New	The CID record exists, but the physical CID has not activated. Software updates are unavailable.
Disconnected	The CID is not connected to CID Hub. Most remote actions and software updates are unavailable.
CDS not running	The CID is online, but its Windows VM, OpenLab Instrument Service, or connected instrument is unavailable. This takes precedence over Server disconnected.
Server disconnected	The CID and its Windows VM are online, but the CID cannot reach its OpenLab Server.
Ready	The CID is online and available for maintenance.
In use	OpenLab CDS is active on the CID. Avoid maintenance that could interrupt current work.

Software update status

The Updates column uses this priority order: Updating, Downloading, Ready, and then blank.

Value	Meaning
Blank	No software changes are pending.
Downloading	At least one selected component is downloading.
Ready	One or more components are downloaded and ready to install.
Updating	Software is being installed or removed.

Configuration fields

These fields identify the CID and its software-management state.

Field	Meaning
Name	The CID Hub name and physical CID hostname.
Description	A user-provided description.
Inherit	Whether the CID follows its OpenLab Server software template. No identifies a CID with individual software selections.
Allow Updates	The list-page name for the CID's Allow Changes setting. When disabled, CID Hub blocks software changes and several administrative operations.
Server Name (FQDN)	The fully qualified domain name of the CID's OpenLab Server.
Date Created	When the CID record was created.
Last Software Update	When software was last updated successfully.
