Computer errors

State	Description
Communication error	General network error.
No route to computer	Typically the remote host cannot be reached because of an intervening firewall or if an intermediate router is down.
Unable to resolve hostname	Unresolved socket address.
Activation required	An instruction was sent to the agent/appliance when it was not yet activated.
Unable to communicate with Agent/Appliance	Unable to communicate with agent/appliance.
Protocol Error	Communication failure at the IP, TCP, or HTTP layer. For example, if the Deep Security Manager IP address is unreachable because the connection is being blocked by a firewall, router, or AWS security group, then it would cause a connection to fail. To resolve the error, verify that the activation port number is allowed and that a route exists.
Deactivation Required	The agent/appliance is currently activated by another Deep Security Manager.
No Agent/Appliance	No agent/appliance was detected on the target.
No valid software version	Indicates that no installer can be found for the platform and version requested.
Send software failed	There was an error in sending a binary package to the computer.
Internal error	Internal error. Please contact your support provider.
Duplicate Computer	Two computers in the Deep Security Manager's computers list share the same IP address.
VMware Tools Not Installed	VMware Tools (with the VMware Endpoint Driver) is not installed on a guest Virtual Machine. The VMware Endpoint Driver is required to provide Deep Security Anti-Malware and Integrity Monitoring protection. This error status will only be displayed when Deep Security is deployed in a VMware NSX environment.
Unresolved software change limit reached	Software changes detected on the file system exceeded the maximum amount. Application control will continue to enforce existing rules, but will not record any more changes, and it will stop displaying any of that computer's software changes. See Resolve and prevent excessive software change.
