This section describes the trees used in the ROR console.
Figure 1.4 Tree Panel
In the tree panel, clicking the area on the upper-left enables selection and display of the following 5 types of tree: server resources, network devices, power monitoring devices, management software, and VLAN.
Chassis, servers, physical OS's, VM hosts, VM guests, and LAN switches managed in Resource Orchestrator are displayed in a tree view. Resources are primarily displayed in registration order. However, for blade servers within a common chassis, the order by which Resource Orchestrator detects server blades takes precedence.
Resources displayed in the resource tree are represented by an icon and their resource name. For details on the icons used to indicate different resources, refer to "5.2 Resource Status" of the "Operation Guide VE".
For a non-registered resource, one of the following registration states is displayed at the end of the resource's name.
[Unregistered] | The resource was automatically detected, but has not been registered yet |
[Registering] | The resource is being registered |
[Admin Server] | This server is the admin server itself |
If a label was set for a resource (in BladeViewer), that label is displayed after the resource name.
resource_name(label) |
Clicking a resource in the resource tree displays information related to that resource in the Main Panel. Right-clicking a resource displays a list of available operations in a popup menu.
