The management console can be used to perform the following operations:
Configuration information management
Collect and manage hardware (chassis and servers), virtual environment (VM hosts and VM guests), and software configuration information (server names, tenant names, host names, IP addresses, installation software, and software parameters) on the managed servers. Software parameters can also be configured and scripts can be run.
If an error occurs on a server, compare its current configuration baseline with the configuration baseline when the server was last running correctly and check any patches that have been newly applied in the interim.
The configuration items in the CMDB can also be looked up, updated, deleted and registered.
Patch management
Patch management involves managing the following patch information:
Windows patches
Linux patches
Fujitsu middleware patches
The patch application status can also be collected from repository servers or managed servers and managed, and unapplied patches can be applied or distributed to managed servers.
Software parameter management
Parameters configured in the software listed below can be collected to change parameters:
Fujitsu middleware
Software that is not supported by UpdateAdvisor (middleware)
Job management
Manage jobs such as distributing and applying patches, configuring parameters, and running scripts.
Setting up the web browser
Before using the management console, a web browser must be set up as follows:
Configure settings to accept cookies.
Enable JavaScript.
Configure settings to use SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0.
Depending on the security level of the browser, the management console may not be displayed even after login. In this case, register the URL of the management console in Trusted sites.

The procedure for configuring standard mode is as follows:
Press the "Alt" key on the keyboard to display the menu bar.
