Management GUI

You can access the management GUI by opening any supported web browser and entering the management IP address. In addition to simple setup, configuration, and management functions, the management GUI provides several functions that help filter and sort data on the system:

Automatic and manual resizing of main navigation

The main navigation menu automatically shrinks or expands based on the width of the browser viewport. If sufficient space is available, the navigation menu automatically expands to show the main navigation item names. When in the expanded mode, a toggle button is available to shrink or expand the navigation menu manually.

Filtering and sorting objects

On windows that include columns, you can sort each column by clicking the column heading. You can use the filtering feature to display items that include only text that you specify.

Selecting multiple objects

You can use the Ctrl key to select multiple items and choose actions on those objects by right-clicking them to display the actions menu. You can right-click any column heading to add or remove columns from the table.

Using preset options

The management GUI includes several preestablished configuration options to help you save time during the configuration process. For example, you can select from several preset options when you create a new volume. These preset options incorporate commonly used parameters.

Viewing help

Another useful interface feature is integrated help. You can access help for some fields and objects in the management GUI by hovering over the question mark icon near the object. Panel-specific help is available by clicking Need Help or by using the Help link in the upper-right corner of the management GUI.
