The status of managed resources - servers (hosts), virtual machines, storage, and templates - is represented using different icons in the Resources pane and elsewhere in XenCenter:

Servers

Icon	Description
	A server that is connected and is up and running normally.
	A server that is temporarily not connected to XenCenter, for example because it is being rebooted or suspended.
	A server that is disconnected, for example because it has been shut down.
	A server that is currently in maintenance mode. See Run in maintenance mode.
	A server on which a crash dump file has been created as a result of a system failure. Crash dump files are located in a folder named crash under the `/var` directory on the server. Crash dump file can provide invaluable information to your support engineer to aid in diagnosing Citrix Hypervisor-related problems. This file can be included in server status reports generated in XenCenter using the Get Server Status Report utility. See Creating a Server Status Report. for more information on using this feature. When you remove the crash dump file from the `/var` directory on the server, the server status icon shown in XenCenter is restored to normal.
	A server for which updates are available. See Updating Managed Servers.
	A server that is running an older version of Citrix Hypervisor than the pool master. See Updating Managed Servers.

Virtual machines, VM templates, and vApps

	A virtual machine that is up and running normally.

	A virtual machine that is currently unavailable, for example because it is being rebooted or suspended.

	A virtual machine that is currently migrating. See Migrate Virtual Machines.
	Citrix Hypervisor VM template.
