The Cisco Integrated Management Controller GUI comprises the Navigation pane on the left hand side of the screen and the Work pane on the right hand side of the screen. Clicking links on the Chassis, Compute, Networking, Storage or Admin menu in the Navigation pane displays the associated tabs in the pane on the right.
The
Navigation pane header displays action buttons that
allow you to view the navigation map of the entire GUI, view the index, or
select a favorite work pane to go to, directly. The
Pin icon prevents the
Navigation pane from sliding in once the
Work pane displays.
The
Favorite icon is a star shaped button which allows
you to make any specific work pane in the application as your favorite. To do
this, navigate to the work pane of your choice and click the
Favorite icon. To access this work pane directly
from anywhere else in the application, click the
Favorite icon again.
The GUI header
displays information about the overall status of the chassis and user login
information.
