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 Roving Edge device administration URL.

    For example: https://adminconsole.myred01.us.example.com – where myred01 is the name of your Roving Edge device and us.example.com is your domain. These parameters were configured during Edge Platform setup.

    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.

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 Roving Edge device. 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 an overview about what you can expect to find on these component and resource pages.

Menu Section

Information Provided

PCA Config

From this section of the navigation menu, you access:

  • Network Environment: the edge platform network configuration parameters as they are entered in the network configuration wizard, plus the option to edit the configuration

  • Appliance Details: system properties, some of which can be edited, and controls to manage custom certificates and configure a basic rack-wide proxy

  • Racks: system units that are part of this installation

    A Roving Edge device is a single node. Its detail page shows virtual management, compute and storage rack units.

  • Fault Domains: a Roving Edge device only has one fault domain, but different node types, like GPU nodes, appear as separate entries

Access Management

From this section of the navigation menu, you access:

  • Tenancies: a Roving Edge device only has one tenancy

  • Identity Providers and IdP Group Mappings: federate with an external identity provider and map its user groups to corresponding authorization groups on the Roving Edge device

  • Users: create individual user accounts and add them to an authorization group

  • Authorization Groups and Authorization Families: simplify access control and permissions management with logical groupings

    Authorization groups are logical collections of users with the same privileges. Authorization families are sets of access control policies that you can reuse across authorization groups. The system has several built in by default.

  • Active Directory Domain: add the Roving Edge device to the same Active Directory domain as your Microsoft Windows instances to enable mounting network drives with the SMB protocol

Maintenance

From this section of the navigation menu, you access settings and required information for device upgrades.

  • Upgrade Plan: checklist for the entire system upgrade workflow

    The plan is generated when new device software is ready, indicates which components have been upgraded or require upgrading, and tracks progress of the upgrade workflow.

  • Component Version: lists current version of each component

  • Upgrade and Patching: create an upgrade request and track its progress; patch requests are no longer supported

  • Upgrade History: drill down into the details of all upgrade activity on the device

  • ULN Mirrors: configuration for ULN-based patching, which the current software no longer supports

FD Instances

From this section of the navigation menu, you access essential information about the compute service, and its availability settings.

The Compute Service detail page provides controls for recovery and placement of compute instances when availability is disrupted by a planned or unplanned outage. The other menu items each open a list of instances:

  • Non migratable: the instances cannot be live migrated from their host

  • Displaced: the instances have been moved out of their selected fault domain

  • Forced Stopped: the instances were stopped by the compute service due to insufficient available resources

Disaster Recovery Service

From this section of the navigation menu, you access settings for disaster recovery.

  • DR Configurations: create and manage disaster recovery configurations

  • DR Jobs: view and track jobs run through the disaster recovery service

  • Native Services: create and manage peer connections with other systems

Limits

From this section of the navigation menu, you access information about resource limits for cloud services. Certain services have configurable limits, meaning you can override the default settings. You can create resource limit templates to easily apply a set of resource limits.

UI Banner Customization

Customize the banner of the graphical user interfaces. Set a custom message and logo for the banner of the Service Enclave and Compute Enclave UI.

Jobs

List of jobs that were run on the system.

  • Filter the list by Job Name, Object Type, or Run State.

  • Select the name of the job in the table to display more information on the job detail page.

Faults

List of faults detected on the system.

  • Toggle to see only active faults or include faults that have been cleared.

  • Select the name of the fault in the table to display more information on the fault detail page.
