UI Element Description
Job Details
Available for tasks only. Opens the Monitor Active Task dialog box, so you can view details of the
specific job or task. These details include an ID for the job, rate at which the core transferred data (if
relevant), elapsed time for the job to complete, total work in amount of gigabytes, and any child tasks
associated with the job.
Message Available for alerts and journal items. This text field provides a descriptive message of the alert or journal
item.
Viewing reports for a protected machine
The Reports drop-down menu lets you generate reports on demand for the selected protected machine.
The Job report provides a report on the status of successful jobs and failed jobs for the selected machine. Failed jobs can be
further viewed in a Failure report. For more information on this report type, see Understanding the Job report on page 274.
The Failure report provides information on failed and canceled Core jobs for the specified machine. For more information on this
report type, see Understanding the Failure report on page 275.
For more information about generating these reports, see Generating a Core report on demand on page 266.
Viewing replicated machines from the navigation menu
If your Core replicates machines from another Rapid Recovery Core, the display name of the source Core appears as a
collapsible menu in the left navigation of the Core Console. As with all menu labels in the navigation area, this replicated
machines menu name appears in all upper-case letters, below the Protected Machines menu. By default, the replicated machines
menu is fully expanded, and lists all machines originating from that source Core that are replicated on your target Core.
You can collapse or expand the view of replicated machines from that source Core by clicking the arrow on the left side of this
menu.
Each replicated machines menu includes a drop-down menu on the right side, which includes functions you can perform
simultaneously on all of the replicated machines originating from that Core. Click the arrow to the right of replicated machines
menu to see a drop-down list of functions you can perform. These actions include the following:
● Pause replication. If replication is currently active, it stops the action until you resume it.
● Resume replication. If replication has been paused, it begins replicating again.
● Force replication. Replicates on demand, rather than at a scheduled time.
● Remove replication. Removes the replication relationship between the source core and your target core. Optionally, you can
delete the recovery points stored in this Core. For more information, see Removing replication on page 223.
Clicking directly on name of the source Core in the navigation menu causes the Machines replicated from [Source Core
Name] page to appear in the main content area. For more information on what you can accomplish on that page, see Viewing
incoming and outgoing replication on page 208.
Viewing the Recovery Points Only menu
The Recovery Points Only menu appears in the left navigation area if one of the following is true:
● if your Rapid Recovery Core retains some recovery points from a machine that was previously protected
● if you removed replication but retained the recovery points.
As with all menu labels in the navigation area, the label for this menu appears in all upper-case letters.
You can collapse or expand the view of recovery points-only machines by clicking the arrow on the left side of this menu.
The menu includes a drop-down menu on the right side which lists functions that can be performed on all recovery points-only
machines simultaneously. In this case, the only function you can perform is to remove recovery points from the Core.
