Identify shortcuts

The icons in the Shortcuts column appear in the following order. Place the mouse pointer on the icon to view the corresponding English prompt.

Open device Shell

1. Click the first terminal icon in the Shortcuts of the target device.
2. Wait for the page to read SerialConsole.ConnectTypesSupported of the device, and select the debugging mode actually supported by the device in Debug Mode.
3. When selecting SSH, select or enter the username in User.
4. Select account password or key authentication in Login Method.
5. When using account and password authentication, fill in the port and password; the port range is 1–65535, and 22 is used by default.
6. When using key authentication, provide the corresponding private key.
7. Click Confirm. The page opens the terminal in a new browser window and connects to the current device.

The device in the picture only returns ADB, so the pop-up window only displays the debugging mode and confirmation button; only when the device returns SSH, the page displays connection parameters such as user, login method, port, password or private key.

The page also allows creating or deleting SSH user configurations for the device. When creating a user, you need to fill in the user name, password, port, and key-related parameters; this operation will modify the SSH user information saved on the target device.

View System Check

1. Confirm that the target device status is Online or Ready.
2. Click the third trend icon in Shortcuts.
3. Select the start time, end time and sampling step in the pop-up System Check - <device> window.
4. View the following trend graph: -CPU usage
   • Memory usage
   • temperature
   • Network upload rate
   • Network download rate
   • CPU frequency
   • Disk read rate
   • disk write rate
5. Refresh the data after modifying the time or sampling parameters; when the chart displays empty data, you should check the time range, monitoring service and equipment indicator collection status.

System Check only reads monitoring data and does not modify device configurations or interrupt services.

Open device Info

1. Confirm that the target device status is Online or Ready.
2. Click the device information icon on the far right in Shortcuts.
3. The page enters the target device details, and the device name, hardware configuration, network speed and device status are displayed at the top.
4. View the manufacturer, SOC, operating system, temperature, memory and storage capacity, runtime, network address, and resource utilization in the details area.
5. Use the System Check tab to view the complete trend graph.
6. When you have network configuration permission, you can use the Net Config tab to view or configure the device network.
7. The details page also provides Debugger and Node Operation, whose Shell and power operation methods are consistent with the General page.

Open startup policy window

1. Click the Settings icon in the Actions column of the target device.
2. Find the device power related configuration in the menu.
3. Select Boot Policy Setting to open the boot policy window.

Configure startup policy

1. In Boot Policy, select the daughterboard startup policy used when the aBMC service is initialized or the power button is turned ON.
2. Set the number of seconds to wait before executing the power-on action in Power-on Delay. This value is an integer not less than 0. Setting it to 0 means not to increase the delay.
3. After checking the target device and configuration contents, click Confirm.
4. When there is no need to save the changes, click Cancel.

Startup strategy parameter description

Confirm configuration result

1. Return to the General list and confirm that the target device's Boot Policy has been updated.
2. When a delay greater than 0 is configured, Delay: <seconds> is displayed below the confirmation policy.
3. Saving the configuration will not immediately restart or shut down the device; the policy will take effect during subsequent aBMC initialization or when the power button is turned ON, and the power-on delay will also be used for subsequent power-on actions.

Select batch target devices

1. Select at least two devices that need to use the same startup policy in the device list.
2. Click the settings icon in the Actions column of any selected device.
3. Select Boot Policy Setting.

Issue batch startup policy

1. In Boot Policy select a policy that is common to all target devices.
2. Set the unified delay start seconds in Power-on Delay.
3. Double-check the checked devices to confirm that they are suitable for the same configuration.
4. Click Confirm, and the page will deliver startup policies to each selected device.
5. Return to the list and confirm that the Boot Policy and delay time have been updated one by one.

Open the power management menu

1. For single-device operation, click the settings icon in the Actions column of the target device, and then expand Power.
2. When performing batch operations, first select at least two devices, and then expand the batch power management menu from the Actions menu of any selected device.
3. The page reads ResetActionInfo and only displays available actions currently returned by the target device; when there are no available actions, the Power menu is unavailable.
4. After confirming the action meaning, target device, and business impact, select the corresponding power action. After selection, the page will send the request immediately without a second confirmation window.

Power supply operation description

Currently bmc-core can return the following actions for the array sub-board. The actual menu only shows the value returned by the target device via ResetActionInfo.

Although PushPowerButton and Nmi exist in the Redfish type definition, they are currently not returned by ResetActionInfo, and backend action processing is not enabled, so they do not appear in the page menu.

Perform single device power operation

1. Confirm the target device based on Device, Status and current services.
2. Prioritize GracefulShutdown or GracefulRestart to allow the operating system to stop services and write back data normally.
3. Use ForceOff, ForceRestart or PowerCycle only if the operating system becomes unresponsive.
4. Click the action to start execution immediately. Observe Status, Uptime and device business status to confirm that the action is completed.
5. If the action fails, first requery available actions and check device communication, permissions, and hardware power control status. Do not click continuously.

Perform batch power operations

1. Check at least two devices that need to perform the same action.
2. Open Actions > Power for any selected device.
3. Verify that all selected devices support target ResetType in the menu.
4. After clicking the power action, the page will send requests to all selected nodes in parallel.
5. After the operation is completed, check the status one by one; if a single request fails, other devices that have been successfully executed will not be automatically rolled back.
