Unsupported BMC Web Console Features

Some actions within the BMC Web console are not supported for customer use.

Notice: Performing any function that does not appear in Overview of the BMC Web Console puts the operation of the ztC Endurance system at risk.

Browser Functions to Avoid

Once you are logged in to the BMC Web console, avoid using the following browser functions:

  • The back and forward buttons on the browser

  • The refresh button on the browser

  • The F5 key on the keyboard

  • The backspace key on the keyboard

  • The number pad on the keyboard

Instead of using the preceding browser functions, use the buttons located in the user menu in the top right corner of the BMC Web console.

Avoid Using Caps Lock Key in KVM

The BMC KVM interface does not correctly interpret the Caps Lock key. Always use the Shift key when typing capital letters.

Do Not Use BMC Web Console to Power Off Running System

Use the ztC Endurance console​, not the BMC Web console, to power off a running ztC Endurance system.

Using the BMC Web console to power off a system may result in the following undesirable outcomes:

  • If a user inadvertently powers off the active compute module, application downtime can occur.

  • If a user powers off the standby compute module, the system-management software attempts to power it back on in order to maintain maximum system availability.
