User guide

A given action will be available only if at least one of the selected units supports the action. If
a selected unit does not support the operation, it will be reported as such in the results window.
When one of these multiple unit operations is initiated and confirmed (if needed), a system task
is created that will perform the operation on each unit. The Multiple Unit Operation window
will open, indicating the operation has been submitted. This window contains a link that
directs the user to the Operations Results window for the task.
To initiate and view results from multiple unit operations from a Units View window:
1. In a Units View window (see Accessing Units View windows on page 118), initiate the
multiple unit operation as described in the procedures referenced above. If prompted,
confirm the operation.
2. The Multiple Unit Operation window will open, indicating the operation has been
submitted.
If you do not want to view the results of the operation, click Close and skip the rest of
this procedure.
To view the results of the operation, click Click here to view results.
3. The Operations Results window will open, listing all multiple unit operations and any unit
tasks that have been initiated (see Using Tasks on page 359). The entry for each operation
includes:
• Name of the operation
• When the operation started
• When the operation finished (blank if not yet complete)
• Status or result of the operation
You may also access this window at any time by clicking the Units tab, then clicking
Operation Results in the side navigation bar.
4. To view the results for an individual operation, click on the name. The Operation Results
window for that operation type will open, indicating:
• Status - Current status of the task
• Summary - Number of successful/failed/total unit operations (for example, the summary
of an operation with a status of ‘Rebooting the unit(s)’ might contain a 2/0/3 summary
- 2 successful, 0 failed and 3 total units)
• Name of the operation
• Type of unit
