This section explains the functions provided by ROR Console.
ROR Console has two parts: "operation windows for tenant administrators and tenant users" and "operation windows for infrastructure
administrators".
Windows intended for Tenant Administrators and tenant users are provided for L-Platform and user information operations. These windows
are configured by Tenant Administrators themselves, and have been provided to reduce the Infrastructure Administrator workload.
Operation windows and dashboard windows intended for Infrastructure Administrators are also provided for L-Platform and user
information operations. These windows are provided to enable Infrastructure Administrators to display and operate all L-Platform and
tenant information and to access important information quickly.
The ROR Console displays are customized for the user's role, to provide appropriate functions to each user. For example, tabs that the
current user cannot operate are not displayed.

Chapter 2 Login and Logout
This chapter describes how to open and close the ROR console.
Preparations
Before opening the ROR console, be sure to read the following instructions and restrictions.
- When accessing the ROR console, be sure to enable the Compatibility View in Internet Explorer. Select [View]-[Encoding] in Internet
Explorer, and check if [Auto-Select] is checked. If [Auto-Select] is not checked, select it.
- When downloading files using the ROR console, it is necessary to disable [Do not save encrypted pages to disk] in the Advanced
Settings of the browser.
- The ROR console uses the Web browser's standard fonts and is designed to be viewed in a window of 1024 by 768 pixels or larger.
When using a monitor with a higher resolution than this, it is recommended to enlarge the screen size. If the Web browser is resized
by a significant amount, the display quality may deteriorate.
- The ROR console uses JavaScript, Active Script, Cookies, and IFRAMEs. These must be enabled in the Web browser settings before
using the ROR console. Use SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0.
- Specify either one of the following for the Web browser pop-up blocker:
- Disable the pop-up blocker
- Add the URL of the ROR Console to the Address of web site to allow setting.
Check with the system administrator for the URL of the ROR Console.
- Surrogate pair characters cannot be used on the ROR Console.
- When opening the ROR console right after launching a Web browser, a warning window concerning the site's security certificate will
be displayed.
The following message is displayed: "There is a problem with this web site's security certificate." This warns the user that Resource
Orchestrator uses a self-signed certificate to encrypt its HTTPS (SSL) communication with the Web browser.
Resource Orchestrator generates a unique, self-signed certificate for each admin server during manager installation.
Within a firewall-protected intranet, a network where the risk of identity theft is low, or where all correspondents are trusted, there is
no risk in using self-signature certificates for communications. Accept the warning to display the Resource Orchestrator login screen.
The login screen can be displayed by selecting the following option: "Continue to this web site (not recommended)."
- The background of the address bar will become red and the words "Certificate Error" will be displayed on the right side of the address
bar of the login screen, the ROR console, and BladeViewer.
Furthermore, the Phishing Filter may show a warning on the status bar. These warnings are referring to the same self-signed certificate
issue discussed in the previous bullet. It is safe to continue with the current browser settings.
- To stop displaying the security certificate warning screen and the certificate error icon, create a certificate associated with the IP
address or hostname of the admin server and add it to the Web browser.
A login window with a URL differing from the address bar's URL in which the IP address or host name (FQDN) may be displayed
depending on the OS configuration. There are no problems with using the displayed window.
Refer to "Appendix B HTTPS Communication" in the "Design Guide CE" for details.
Opening the ROR Console
This section explains how to access the ROR console.
Add the URL of the ROR console to the "Trusted sites" of the browser.
Start a Web browser from an admin client and specify the URL of the ROR console for connection.
If the port number was changed, specify the new port number.
When the ROR console is connected, the login window is displayed.
When Single Sign-On authentication has already been performed, the ROR console can be started without displaying the login window.
Refer to "Chapter 12 Installing and Defining Single Sign-On" in the "Design Guide CE" for details on Single Sign-On.

URL: https://
On a Windows admin server, the ROR console can also be opened by selecting [start]-[All Programs]-[Resource Orchestrator]-[ROR
console].

Note
- If the login screen is not displayed, confirm the following.
- URL entered in address bar of the Web browser.
- The proxy settings of the Web browser are correct.
- The firewall settings on the admin server are correct.
- If already logged in from another Web browser window, login may be performed automatically (without displaying the login screen).

4.1 Pool Conditions Overview
The Pool Conditions can be used to monitor resource pool use.
This section provides an overview of the Pool Conditions.
Pool Conditions window
The Pool Conditions displays charts for each of the following resource pools:
- VM pool (CPU) (*1)
- VM pool (memory) (*1)
- Storage pool
- Network pool
- Server pool (*2)
- Address pool (*2)
*1: The charts for overall volume, used volume, and L-Servers available for deployment will not consider VM hosts installed on
physical L-Servers and registered in VM pools, and that operate on a physical server released during physical server reconfiguration.
* 2: Only displayed if physical servers are registered to the server pool.
Resource pool types
There are two types of resource pool:
- Infrastructure administrator: Global pools
- Tenant Administrator: Local pools managed by the Tenant Administrator
- Dual-role administrator: Global pools and local pools
Items displayed in charts
The following items are displayed in each of the resource pool charts:
- Vertical axis: Resource pool use rate (%)
- Horizontal axis: Date and time (Three months)
- Polyline graph: If there are multiple resource pools, the five with the highest use rate (the five with the highest total values of the
series) are displayed.
4.2 Pool Conditions Display
Perform the following steps to display the Pool Conditions:
