This topic describes the main components of the IBM Director Console interface.
Before you begin using
IBM Director Console,
review the layout of its interface.
圖 1. IBM Director Console
Along the top of the IBM Director Console interface
is both a menu and a toolbar.
Below the menu and toolbar, one, two, or three panes will be visible. From
left to right, these are:
- Groups
- Group contents (pane title indicates selected
group)
- Tasks
Below the panes is the marquee area and hardware-status alert display.
The ticker-tape messages scroll across the marquee area. The hardware-status
alert display is located in the bottom-right corner of the interface.
At the bottom of the IBM Director Console interface
is a status bar indicating the ready or busy status of IBM Director,
the host and login information for IBM Director Server,
and the number of managed objects in the Group Contents pane.
IBM Director Console is usually
accessed on the management server. On Windows management servers, an additional,
and separate, Server Status icon displays the ready or busy status of
IBM Director Server in the Windows system
tray.
註: Icons in the Windows tray, including the IBM Director Server
Status icon, may disappear when a user selects the Windows High Contrast display.
To enable display of the Server Status icon after selecting the high contrast
display, select All Programs→Startup→Server Status from the Start menu.
