The Server Administrator home page

NOTE: Do not use your web browser toolbar buttons (such as Back and Refresh) while using Server Administrator. Use only the Server Administrator navigation tools.
With only a few exceptions, the Server Administrator home page has three main areas:
  • The global navigation bar provides links to general services.
  • The system tree displays all visible system objects based on the user's access privileges.
  • The action window displays the available management actions for the selected system tree object based on the user's access privileges. The action window contains three functional areas:
    • The action tabs display the primary actions or categories of actions that are available for the selected object based on the user's access privileges.
    • The action tabs are divided into subcategories of all available secondary options for the action tabs based on the user's access privileges.
    • The data area displays information for the selected system tree object, action tab, and subcategory based on the user's access privileges.

Also, when logged in to the Server Administrator home page, the system model, the assigned name of the system, and the current user's user name and user privileges are displayed in the top-right corner of the window.

The following table lists the GUI field names and the applicable system, when Server Administrator is installed on the system.

Clicking an object in the system tree opens a corresponding action window for that object. You can navigate in the action window by clicking the action tabs to select major categories and clicking the action tab subcategories to access more detailed information or more focused actions. The information displayed in the data area of the action window can range from system logs to status indicators to system probe gauges. Underlined items in the data area of the action window indicate a further level of functionality. Clicking an underlined item creates a data area in the action window that contains a greater level of detail. For example, clicking Main System Chassis/Main System under the Health subcategory of the Properties action tab lists the health status of all the components contained in the Main System Chassis/Main System object that are monitored for health status.

NOTE: Administrator or Power User privileges are required to view most of the system tree objects, system components, action tabs, and data area features that are configurable. Also, only users logged in with Administrator privileges can access critical system features such as the shutdown functionality included under the Shutdown tab.
