The CIMC 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, or Admin menu in the Navigation pane displays the associated tabs in the Work 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 choose
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.
The GUI header also displays the total number of faults (indicated in green or red), with a Bell icon next to it. However, clicking this icon displays the summary of only the critical and major faults of various components.
To view all the faults, click the View All button to display the Fault Summary pane.
