Accessing the Terascala Management Console
You can access the Terascala Management Console through the Terascala Management Portal. To
access the Terascala Management Portal, refer to the instructions described in Accessing the Terascala
Management Portal. To launch the Terascala Management Console from the Terascala Management
Portal:

1. Click Management Console in the lower right corner of the page.

Figure 18: Click Management Console


A page opens that is similar to the one in the following figure.

Figure 19: Terascala Management Console


Using the Terascala Management Console
In the Terascala Management Console, you can see the various objects that are monitored.

These objects may be in any of the following four states:

Normal
The object is considered to be in good health. For example, a RAID 5 unit that has no missing disks and is
not rebuilding is considered normal.

Alert
The object is in a state that requires the attention of the administrator. For example, a RAID 5 unit that
is missing a disk would be in an alert state.

Notice
The object is in a state that is unusual, but does not necessarily represent a problem. The administrator
is responsible for determining what action, if any, to take. For example, if a RAID unit is rebuilding, it is in
a Notice state. In that case no action is required, but the administrator would want to know about it.

Urgent
The object is in a state that requires the administrators immediate attention. In this situation, the
system may take action to prevent damage to the hardware; for example, if a CPU is determined to be
overheating, the condition is urgent and the associated hardware is automatically powered off.


Below are tables that list the icons and symbols that appear within the environment.

about the files, but none of the file data. There is only one MDT in the entire file
system.
MDS (MetaData Server) MetaData Server. In Lustre, there is only one active MDS at a time, though there
may be a passive server ready to take over.
OST (Object Storage
Target)
Object Storage Target. A file system storing file data. Data is stored in large chunks
of files.
OSS (Object Storage
Server)
