• Online—The SME cluster is available on the switches and is reachable from the DCNM-SAN Server.
• Deactivated—The SME cluster has been removed from the switches; however, the keys belonging to the cluster are deactivated in the Cisco KMC.
• Pending—The first SME interface has not been added to a cluster and it is not yet online.
• Offline—The switches of the cluster are not reachable from DCNM-SAN.
• Deprecated—The SME cluster with all SME interfaces removed; the cluster is unusable.
