Chapter 1 Resource Management Overview

This chapter provides an overview of the two views available on the [Resource] tab in Resource Orchestrator. Resource Orchestrator provides two different GUIs on the [Resource] tab: the default window and BladeViewer.

Choosing an appropriate GUI depends on the administrator's authority level, or the kind of operations to be performed.

- ROR console

The ROR console gives access to all functions of Resource Orchestrator.

- BladeViewer

BladeViewer offers a simplified, lifelike representation of blade servers and their statuses. While this enables intuitive operation, it does not include the tree-based navigation or detailed menus available in the [Resource] tab of the ROR console. BladeViewer makes it easier to monitor blade servers, visualize their hosted applications, and perform power operations. This makes BladeViewer suitable for administrators who only need to monitor blades and perform basic operations.

To switch the view of the [Resource] tab from the default window to BladeViewer, click <BladeViewer>>>. To switch the view of the [Resource] tab from BladeViewer to the default window, click <Advanced>>>.

Information

- All descriptions about the user interface other than those in "Chapter 4 BladeViewer" apply to the default window.

- For details on the [Resource] tab of the ROR console, refer to "Appendix A User Interface".

- For details on BladeViewer, refer to "Chapter 4 BladeViewer". This explains the BladeViewer screen and the functions that it provides.

- When logging in for the first time, the ROR console is displayed.

Otherwise, the last view used before logging out (either the ROR console or BladeViewer) is displayed.

- In this manual, the [Resource] tab of the ROR console is sometimes referred to as the "ROR console".

Chapter 4 BladeViewer

This chapter provides an overview of BladeViewer and explains its features. Please note that BladeViewer is only available for PRIMERGY BX servers. For details on the ROR console, refer to "Appendix A User Interface".

4.1 Overview

This section provides a functional overview of BladeViewer. BladeViewer provides an intuitive representation of blade servers and their statuses. This makes it easier to monitor resource states or

perform basic operations on blade servers.

Figure 4.1 BladeViewer

BladeViewer allows the following operations:

- Monitoring of resource statuses

The statuses of chassis, servers, LAN switches, and physical OSs can be monitored from a view representative of the actual placement and configuration of physical devices.

When using virtual servers, BladeViewer shows a list of VM guests for each VM host. This helps keeping track of relationships between VM guests and VM hosts. BladeViewer also makes it easy to confirm which operating systems (physical OS and guest OS) are affected by a hardware failure.

- Display and control of power status

The power status of each server blade, storage blade, and VM guest is represented by an intuitive power button. Clicking this button provides quick access to power control operations (for both server blades and VM guests).

- Display of custom labels and comments

BladeViewer allows users to define custom labels and comments for each physical OS, VM host, and VM guest. Once defined, labels are shown on top of each displayed physical OS, VM host, and VM guest. Using labels to display application contents makes it easy to visualize what applications are running on each server blade and identify the applications affected by a server failure. Clicking on a label displays the comment defined for the related resource. Registering troubleshooting and recovery procedures beforehand can speed up the recovery of affected applications when a problem occurs.

- 7 -

- Display of contact information

BladeViewer allows users to define technical (support) contact information for their entire IT system. This contact information can be shown by clicking on the Contact icon. Registering contact details of technical support staff beforehand can help streamline recovery procedures when problems occur.

4.2 Screen Layout

This section explains how the BladeViewer screen is organized. The BladeViewer screen consists of a status panel, a chassis panel, and a blade panel.

Figure 4.2 BladeViewer: Screen Layout

Status panel

This panel displays a summary of resources statuses.

Chassis panel

This panel displays the statuses of each registered chassis.

Blade panel

This panel displays the status of all resources mounted within the selected chassis.

Information

To switch from BladeViewer to the ROR console, click <Advanced>>>, which is displayed in the upper-right of the BladeViewer screen. Switch to the ROR console when necessary, for example to register servers and change various settings. Otherwise, the last view used before logging out (either the ROR console or BladeViewer) is displayed.

4.3 Resource Status Monitoring

This section explains how to monitor resource statuses using BladeViewer.

- 8 -

4.3.1 Status Panel

The status panel displays a summary of resources statuses (including resources other than PRIMERGY BX servers). When a problem occurs in the system, a red or yellow light icon starts blinking on the left side of the status panel.

Clicking the light icon changes its color back to gray. The table below shows the status and meaning associated with each light icon.

Table 4.1 Light Icons

Icon Color Status Meaning

Gray (not lit) Normal No errors or warnings have been detected in the system.

Yellow (blinking)

Red (blinking)

Warning A warning has been detected in the system.

Error An error has been detected in the system.

Information

When the light icon blinks, it means that a warning or an error has been detected. Check the location of the problem from the chassis or blade panel. If BladeViewer shows no resources with a warning or error status in either the chassis panel or blade panel, switch to the ROR console and check the event log to identify the cause of the problem.

To the right of the light icon, BladeViewer shows the number of servers with an "error", "warning", "normal", and "stop" status.
