Main Window

Changing a filesystem's properties by moving it into another project using the Projects side panel.

Overview

The BUI provides an uncluttered environment for visualizing system behavior and identifying performance issues with the appliance.

Masthead

The masthead contains several interface elements for navigation and notification, as well as primary functionality. At left, from top to bottom, are the Sun logo, a hardware model badge, and hardware power off and restart buttons. Across the right, again from top to bottom: login identification, logout, help, main navigation, and subnavigation.

Navigation

Use main navigation links to view between the Configuration, Maintenance, Shares, Status, and Analytics areas of the BUI.

Use sub-navigation links to access features and functions within each area.

Alerts

System alerts appear in the Masthead as they are triggered. If multiple alerts are triggered sequentially, refer to the list of recent alerts found on the Dashboard screen or the full log available on the Maintenance: Logs screen.

Session Annotation

If you provide a session annotation, it appears beneath your login ID and the logout control. To change your session annotation for subsequent administrative actions without logging out, click on the text link. See Configuration: Users for details about session annotations.

Title Bar

The title bar appears below the Masthead and provides local navigation and functions that vary depending on the current view.

For example, the Identity mapping service title bar enables the following:

• Navigation to the full list of services through the side panel

• Controls to enable or disable the Identity Mapping service

• A view of Identity Mapping uptime

• Navigation to the Properties, Rules and Logs screens for your Identity Mapping service

• Button to Apply configuration changes made on the current screen

• Button to Revert configuration changes applied on the current screen

Side Panels and Menu Titles

To quickly navigate between Service and Project views, open and close the side panel by clicking the title or the reveal arrow.

Add Projects

To add projects, click the Add... link in the sidebar.

Move Shares

To move Shares between Projects, click the move icon and drag a filesystem Share to the appropriate Project in the side panel.

Note that dragging a share into another project will change its properties if they are set to be inherited from its parent project.

Object Name

To change a Share name, click the rename icon in the highlighted table row for the Share.

Non-Standard BUI Control Primer

Most BUI controls use standard web form inputs, however there are a few key exceptions worth noting:

Summary of BUI Controls Modify a property Click the edit icon and complete the dialog Add a list item or property entry Click the add icon Remove a list item or property entry Click the remove icon Save changes Click the Apply button Undo saved changes Click the Revert button Delete an item from a list Click the trash icon (hover the mouse over the item row to see the icon) Search for an item in a list Click the search icon at the top right of the list Sort by list headings Click on the bold sub-headings to re-sort the list Move or drag an item Click the move icon Rename an item Click the rename icon View details about your system Oracle logo or click the model badge to go to the oracle.com web page for your model Automatically open side panel Drag an item to the side panel Send BUI feedback Click the Let us know link at the bottom right of any screen to send us your suggestions about the interface or any other aspect of the appliance

Permissions

When setting permissions, the RWX boxes are clickable targets. Clicking on the access group label (User, Group, Other) toggles all permissions for that label on and off.

Editing Share Properties

To edit Share properties, deselect the Inherit from project checkbox.

Viewing List Item Controls

To view controls for an item in a list, hover the mouse over the row.

Modal Dialogs

All modal dialogs have titles and buttons that identify and commit or cancel the current action at top, and content below. The modal content area follows the same interface conventions as the main content area, but are different in that they must be dismissed using the buttons in the title bar before other actions can be performed.
