Create new resources or browse and manage existing resources.
Prerequisites
If you want to view or manage existing resources, register at least one resource and add it to a perspective.
Task
The Administration Console enables you to view and manage both servers and resources below the server level, such as processes, databases, and devices.
- Launch the Administration Console.
- To populate the Administration Console with information on one or more resources: in the Perspective Resources view, select the resources and select . This method is the most efficient.
- To populate the Administration Console with information on all the resources in the current perspective: from the main menu bar, select . If you are monitoring a large number of resources, the Administration Console may take a few minutes to load.
- Expand the objects in the left pane to explore the hierarchy of resource types.
- Select a high-level resource type (a logical server, for example) in the hierarchy.
The Administration Console displays a list of resources of that type. You can use the Folder menu to create another server of the same type, or to refresh the view.
- Select various objects in the hierarchy.
Information about each selected object appears in the table in the right pane.
- In either the right or the left pane, select an object.
A dropdown arrow appears to the right of the name. If the selected object is in the right pane, the Resource menu becomes active.
- Click the dropdown arrow to display a menu of actions you can perform on that object. If the selected object is in the right pane, use the Resource menu to display the same actions.
Note: Some managed objects have no actions.
