This section describes all the possible states that could be displayed on the infrastructure dashboard, for each node of the system.

In order to inspect the status of a specific node, hover the mouse cursor over the desired hexagon-shaped node, where the node role is displayed (master or slave/fomaster). The current status of the node is reported right next to the 'Status' field, followed by a color indication. As it is displayed in the following image, the user can also review all the possible blade states by hovering the mouse over the info option this time, as depicted below.

The possible states of a blade node are the following :

    - Active : the node is healthy and runnning properly
    - Error : the node has crashed
    - Initializing reboot : the node is initiliazing, in order to be rebooted
    - Reset :  FUll power cycle reset / Hard reboot (e.g IPMI)
