Dashboard Page

The Dashboard page:

• Displays a summary of outstanding alerts on the ztC Endurance system.

• Allows you to perform a total system shutdown by clicking the Shutdown button.

  Notice: Do not click the Shutdown button unless you are familiar with the topics discussed in System Power.

The Dashboard page opens when you log in to the ztC Endurance console​. To open it from other pages, in the left-hand navigation panel, click Dashboard under System.

On the Dashboard page:

• The masthead at the top of the page displays registration status information, system-alert status, the name of the current user, and the Logout option.

• Below the masthead, the ztC Endurance model number appears. To view your system's serial number, hover the cursor over the ztC Endurance model number. The system hostname, the management IP address of compute module A, the management address of compute module B, the software version number, and the asset ID also appear below the masthead, along with the Shutdown button and a Help button that takes you to the ztC Endurance Help pages.

• The bottom pane displays a list of alerts associated with the components shown in the system diagram.

• The left-hand navigation panel displays the pages that allow you to configure or view information about the system.

To display additional information about outstanding alerts, click an alert symbol (for example, ) in the system diagram, or click an entry in the list of alerts below the system diagram. Alert lists may appear in tabs such as All, System, and Ignored, as well as in tabs for each component shown in the system diagram. These tabs may appear below the system diagram, depending on the alerts. The alert information includes:

• The component associated with the issue (for example, the ztC Endurance system or a module).
• A description of the activity or task that requires attention.
• The ability to ignore the issue (only if Ignore appears in the Action column). You can restore the alert by clicking the Ignored tab and then clicking Restore in the Action column for the alert.
• The reason the issue should be resolved by clicking the row with the alert. The information will appear in the Information column.

Resolve active alerts as soon as possible (see Resolving Outstanding Alerts on the Dashboard).

Understanding the ztC Endurance System Diagram

The system diagram displays a graphical representation of system status. A star symbol () indicates the active module.

The system diagram also shows which disk-drive slots and PCIe-card slots are populated. If a disk-drive slot is grayed-out in the diagram, that slot is empty. Similarly, if the diagram shows a PCIe-card slot with slot covers instead of a PCIe card with ports, that slot is empty.

Alert symbols, if present, represent informational or critical alerts that require attention. Click an alert symbol to display information about the alert.

  • : Reports a warning alert on a PSU (for example, if the PSU is simplex)

• Disk symbols:

  • : Reports an alert on a failing or degraded physical disk

  • : Reports a warning alert on a physical disk (for example, if the disk is simplex)

• Network symbols:

  • : Reports an alert on a failing or degraded teamed network port.

  • : Reports a warning alert on a teamed network port (for example, if the network port is simplex)
