Installing the 6400 SCM Software Refer to the Cisco 6400 Service Connection Manager Installation Instructions for further information. 6400 UAC Management Deployment Deployment informs the Cisco 6400 SCM of the presence of supported network elements. The deployment wizard deploys objects in CEMF in advance of actual deployment on a Cisco 6400 SCM in the field. The Cisco 6400 SCM detects the presence of previously deployed network equipment as soon as that equipment becomes operational. The Cisco 6400 SCM can auto-discover equipment as an alternative to manual deployment.
Deployment is one of the first stages of the provisioning process.
Deployment is occasionally referred to as Provisioning. Once objects are deployed, the initial state of all objects will be normal. Pre-Provisioning is the process of reserving and configuring a space in the system for network equipment, which have not yet been physically slotted into the system rack. It refers to a particular state of the device or object. Thus the line cards in the 6400 SCM can exist in a state known as pre-provisioned and the 6400 SCM does not monitor their status.
