Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Documentation

Using the Service Web UI

The Service Web UI is the graphical interface to the Service Enclave. Administrators can use the Service Web UI on its own or together with the Service CLI to complete tasks.

The Service Web UI provides the same core functionality as the Service CLI. However, the CLI does have some additional operations that don't have a UI equivalent. This topic provides general guidelines for using the Service Web UI. The actual operations and functions are documented throughout the administrator area of the documentation, as part of step-by-step instructions.

Signing In

To sign in to the Service Web UI, complete the following steps:

  1. In a supported browser, enter the Private Cloud Appliance administration URL.

    For example: https://adminconsole.pcasys1.example.com – where pcasys1 is the name of your Private Cloud Appliance and example.com is your domain.

    The Sign In page is displayed.

  2. Enter your Username and Password, and then click Sign In.

    The Service Enclave dashboard is displayed. It has a navigation menu and a set of quick action tiles.

Note

If this is the first sign in after initial setup and configuration, the dashboard displays the ASR Phone Home page so you can register your system with My Oracle Support.

For more information, see Registering Private Cloud Appliance for Oracle Auto Service Request.

Navigating the Dashboard

When you sign in to the Service Web UI, the dashboard is displayed with a Quick Actions area containing clickable tiles for common tasks, such as viewing rack unit, tenancy, and appliance details and managing users and the network environment.

In the Observability & Management part of the dashboard, there is a quick action tile for Monitoring. When you click Monitoring, the Grafana console opens. For more information, see Using Grafana.

In the top bar of the dashboard you can locate the realm and the system and domain names for your Private Cloud Appliance. Your user name appears in the top bar as well, with links to your profile information, hardware data sync, oracle.com, and the option to sign out.

Note

The dashboard is static and not configurable.

The navigation menu, which you can click or tab to, lists appliance components and resources that you can manage within the Service Enclave. When you click an item in the navigation menu, a page is displayed that contains information about the component or resource. The following table provides details about what you can expect to find on these component and resource pages.

Component or Resource
