Server Administrator Home Page System Tree Objects
This section provides information about the objects in the System tree on the Server Administrator's home page. Due to the
limitations of the ESXi operating systems, some features available in earlier versions of Server Administrator are not available in this
release.
The unsupported features on ESXi are:
• FCoE-capable and iSoE-capable information.
• Alert Management — Alert Actions
• Network Interface — Administrative Status, DMA, Internet Protocol (IP) Address,
• Network Interface — Operational Status
• Remote Shutdown — Power Cycle System with Shutdown operating system rst
• About Details — Server Administrator component details not listed under Details tab
• Rolemap
NOTE: Server Administrator always displays the date in <
mm/dd/yyyy
> format.
NOTE: Administrator or Power User privileges are required to view many of the system tree objects, system components,
action tabs, and data area features that are congurable. Additionally, only users logged in with Administrator privileges
can access critical system features such as the shutdown functionality included under the
Shutdown tab.
Modular enclosure
NOTE: For the purposes of Server Administrator, modular enclosure refers to a system that may contain one or more
modular systems that appear as a separate Server Module in the system tree. Like a stand-alone Server Module, a
modular enclosure contains all the essential components of a system. The only dierence is that there are slots for at
least two Server Modules within a larger container, and each of them is as complete a system as a Server Module.
To view the modular system’s chassis information and Chassis Management Controller (CMC) information, click the Modular
Enclosure object.
• Tab: Properties
• Subtab: Information
Under the Properties tab, you can:
• View the chassis information for the modular system being monitored.
• View detailed Chassis Management Controller (CMC) information for the modular system being monitored.
Accessing And Using Chassis Management Controller
To launch the Chassis Management Controller Log in window from the Server Administrator home page:
1. Click the Modular Enclosure object
2. Click the CMC Information tab, and then click Launch the CMC Web Interface. The CMC Log in window appears.
You can monitor and manage your modular enclosure after connecting to the CMC.
System/Server module properties
The System/Server Module object contains three main system component groups: Main System Chassis/Main System, Software,
and Storage. The Server Administrator home page defaults to the System object of the system tree view. Most administrative
functions can be managed from the System/Server Module object action window. The System/Server Module object action
window has the following tabs, depending on the user's group privileges: Licensing, Properties, Shutdown, Logs, Alert
Management, and Session Management
