Data Center Management

When users selects a data Center to manage, abiCloud client redirects to the main management page.

Profile information This section is only managed by System Administrator profile

The main content is divided in three sections:

Physical components:

• Pysical Machines list: list of machines in the data center.  They are grouped by racks (logical aggregation) and the following actions can be carried out:
  • Manage Racks.
  • Manage physical Machines.
  • Move physical machines between racks.
  • Clone a physical machine, choosing a physical machine and moving it by pressing the ALT button
  • At the bottom of the list appears a list of  physical machines not assigned  to a rack. This is not an important feature in this beta version but in future releases a list of non asigned machines that have been detected will automatically be displayed.
  • At the bottom of this section are three buttons via which a user can  create, delete and modify physical machines.

• Storage management: It shows the list of storage pools with the list of iSCSI volumes created by users.

• Public IP management: On the top of this section there is a globe where the user can:
  • Show the list of public IP managed by the data center.
  • Manage public IP.
  • Manage public IP range.
  • Manage gateways.
  • Show the public IP consumption by the different enterprises.
  • Manage a black list of public IPs. A black list allows Sys Admins to block a determinate IP in order to avoid that other user uses it in other virtual machine.

Virtual machines

It is possible to show the virtual machines created in different physical machines (or grouped by rack). The virtual machines can be viewed as a list of names or icons  with each entry representing a virtual machine object. In each virtual machine object the following can be done:

• Stop/Start the virtual machine
• Pause the virtual machine
• Restart the virtual machine
• Access the server via VDRP/VNC
• With the button find you can filter the virtual machine list.

More information:

This section appears when the user selects a virtual machine or a physical machine.  It contains the information on the selected object.  The user can edit the information of a physical/virtual machine.  On a  virtual machine, a user can access via VRDP/VNC, start/stop, pause and reset the machine.

• Using the return button, the user can go to the previous page.

Used Resources management

Each time an user deploy or undeploy virtual Appliances, abiCloud updates the information of used resources (CPU, RAM, and HD)in the physical infrastructure.

There are two points to know in the infraestructure:

• On More information layer of a PhysicalMachine, user can show the used resources

• Maybe, for inesperated actions or non controled errors, the used resources maybe are no syncronized. For this, exist a button  over resources list to check this information.
