Navigating the Web Console

The Web Console provides easy access to a cluster and its components through various methods of navigation. Use links, trails, or buttons to access a particular page or dialog box.

Using Information Links

The Web Console links some of its information to additional pages in the console. For example, the Systems page displays information about online, faulted, and partial service groups on each system. These group names link to their respective pages. Links are provided throughout the tri-pane layout of the console.

Using Navigation Trails

The Web Console follows a top down navigation approach. The top left corner of each content pane page displays a "breadcrumb trail" indicating the page's position in the navigation hierarchy. The components of the trail are links to ascendant pages in the hierarchy. For example, if you are on a Resource page, the navigation trail shows
Home -> Cluster -> Service Groups -> Service Group -> Resource.

• Click Home to view the cluster host name and logon status.
• Click the cluster name to view general information about the cluster.
• Click Service Groups to view information about service groups.
• Click the service group name to view information about the particular service group.

Using Navigation Buttons

The top pane of the console provides buttons that link to other pages in the console. For example, click Systems to view the Systems page.
