Using the Service Web UI

The Service Web UI is the graphical interface to the Service Enclave. You can use the Service Web UI on its own or with the Service CLI to complete tasks. The Service Web UI provides the same core functionality as the Service CLI, however, the Service CLI does have some additional operations that do not have a UI equivalent.

This section provides general guidelines for using the Service Web UI. The actual commands and their functions are documented throughout the Oracle Private Cloud Appliance Administrator Guide as part of the step-by-step instructions.

Logging In

To log into the Service Web UI, complete the following steps:

1. In a supported browser, enter the URL for your Oracle Private Cloud Appliance.

   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 Private Cloud Appliance dashboard displays with quick action tiles.

Note:

If this is the first log in after a Private Cloud Appliance installation, 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 log into the Service Enclave, 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. You will see your user name in the top bar, as well, with links to your profile information, hardware data sync, oracle.com, and the ability to sign out.

Note:

The dashboard is static and not configurable.

The navigation menu, which you can click on or tab to, lists appliance components and resources that you can manage within the Service Enclave of Private Cloud Appliance. When you click on 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.
