Approving the NIOS-X Server in the Infoblox Portal
- Shirly Tsang

After you have successfully installed the ISO image and connected the NIOS-X physical server to the Infoblox Portal, the server will automatically enter the Awaiting Approval state. You will be able to log in to the Infoblox Portal and approve or deny the attempt to connect to the host. During the approval process, which takes up to 30 minutes, the server status will appear in the panel under Platform Management and will change from Awaiting Approval to Pending, then to Review Details, and then to Online. The change in status is an indication that the approval process is progressing properly.
Before attempting to perform other configurations, you must wait until the state changes to Online. To ensure that the deployment completes successfully, do not disconnect or restart the server during the approval process.
To approve the NIOS-X server:
In the Infoblox Portal, go to Configure > Servers.
Select the checkbox for the NIOS-X physical server for which you want to approve a connection, and then click the drop-down menu at the top of the table.
Select Approve.
In the Approve? dialog box, review the serial number and IP addresses for your configuration, and click Approve.
The approval process might take up to 30 minutes to complete. You can view the change of status in the panel on the right, under Platform Management. The Status field changes based on the current status of the approval process. For more information, see Viewing Host Status.
