CSM Web Interface Main Page Help

Introduction

CSM (Cluster Systems Management) assists an administrator in managing a whole set of Linux machines. With this software, an administrator is able to more easily set up and maintain the machines via features like parallel install, hardware control, configuration file management, event monitoring, etc.

Page Layout

Each page of the CSM web interface typically contains:

The main page of the CSM web interface shows a list of nodes and some basic information and monitoring status for each one.  You can change which nodes are displayed by choosing a different node group in the Which Nodes: drop down box.  (To create more choices in this drop down box, add node groups using the "Edit Groups" button.)  Or you can specify a node range to display a list of nodes for which you don't have a node group defined.  Currently, a node range can be a single node name or a range in the form "node1-node5", where node1 and node5 are actual node names.

To perform an operation against one or more nodes, select the check box next to each desired node and click on one of the buttons to the left of the node table.
