ztC Edge Console

The ztC Edge Console is a browser-based interface that provides management and monitoring of an ztC Edge system from a remote management computer. You can perform many administrative operations from the console because it provides access to the system as a whole as well as to physical machines (PMs), virtual machines (VMs), and other resources.

For information on the requirements of the remote management computer that runs the ztC Edge Console, see ztC Edge Console Requirements.

Using the ztC Edge Console, you can perform a variety of administrative functions:

• Read system alerts from the Dashboard. See the Dashboard Page.
• View VM, CPU, memory, and storage statistics, and reboot or shutdown the system from the System page. See the System Page.
• Set preferences for the system, notifications (e-Alerts and SNMP configuration), and remote support (notification and access); and access administrative tools that enable you to create a secure connection. System preferences include owner information and configuration values for IP address, quorum services, date and time, etc. See the Preferences Page.
• View alerts and audit logs. See the Alerts History Page, the Audit Logs Page, and the Support Logs Page.
• Monitor, manage, and maintain resources:
  • PM status, storage (including disks), network, VMs, and USB devices: see the Physical Machines Page.
  • VM status and management tasks such as creating, importing/restoring, managing, and maintaining VMs: see the Virtual Machines Page.
  • Volumes, including their state, name, data synchronization status, size, state, and other information: see the Volumes Page.
  • Networks, including state, link condition, name, internal name, type (for example, A-Link), VMs, speed, MAC address, and network bandwidth: see the Networks Page.
  • Virtual CDs, including their state, name, size, and whether or not the VCD can be removed: see the Virtual CDs Page.
• Monitor and manage upgrade kits. See the Upgrade Kits Page.

You can also edit your user information (see Editing Your User Information) and configure users and groups (see Configuring Users and Groups).
