Dell PowerVault ME4 Series Storage System Administrator’s Guide

Use the activity progress interface

1. Enable the Activity Progress Monitor service. See Enable or disable system-management settings.
2. In a new tab in your web browser, enter the URL for the form: http://controller-address:8081/cgi-bin/content.cgi?mc=MC-identifier&refresh=true where:
   • controller-address – Required parameter that specifies the IP address of a controller network port.
   • mc=MC-identifier – Optional parameter that specifies the controller for which to report progress/status:
     • mc=A – Shows output for controller A only.
     • mc=B – Shows output for controller B only.
     • mc=both – Shows output for both controllers.
     • mc=self – Shows output for the controller whose IP address is specified.
   • refresh=true – Optional parameter that causes automatic refresh of the displayed output every second. This will continue until either:
     • The parameter is removed.
     • The controller whose IP address is specified is restarted and communication is lost.

     When activity is in progress, the interface will display an MC-specific Activity Progress table with the following properties and values.
