Tracking Device Updates
254
When disabled, unconnected devices do not appear in the Update Devices dialog box,
preventing administrators from selecting an unconnected device for updating.
When configuring this option on a per-update basis, you must enable this option in
order to make the "Update When Device Connects" option available.
Update When Device Connects—When enabled, NSM attempts to update a previously
unconnected device with pending changes stored in the management system.
When disabled, NSM does not update a previously unconnected device, and the
configuration state of the device remains as "Sync Pending".
When configuring this option on a per-update basis, you must enable this option in
order to make the "Do not Update If Device Has Changed" option available.
Do not Update If Device Has Changed—When enabled, NSM does not update a
previously unconnected device if out-of-band changes have been made to the device.
The configuration state of the device remains as "NSM and Device Changed", or "Device
Changed" when the update device job is cancelled due to a change on the device.
Enable Option Dialog—When enabled, NSM displays device update options for
single-device updates. The update options dialog box appears when you right-click a
device in Device Manager and select Update Attacks.
When disabled, the update options dialog box does not appear for single-device updates
initiated from the Device Manager. Alternatively, to disable from within the per-update
device update dialog box, select the option "Do not Show This Dialog".
For details on tracking update status, see the next section, "Tracking Device Updates"
on page 254. For details on troubleshooting failed updates, see "Understanding Updating
Errors" on page 258.

For DMI-compatible devices, update options include:
Lock configuration during update.
Update to candidate config first before commit to running config.
Use confirmed commit.
Rollback candidate config to running config in error.
Discard uncommitted changes when exclusive lock is available.
Use Job Manager to track device updates in real time. You can view the status of a running
update and the status of completed updates in the Job Manager module.
When you send a command to a device or group of devices using NSM, the management
system creates a job for that command and displays information about that job in the
Job Information window. The command you send is called a directive. Job Manager tracks
the progress of the directive as it travels to the device and back to the management
system. Each job contains:
