Administering Cisco DCNM Web Client

The Admin options allows you to perform minor administrative and configuration tasks on the Cisco DCNM-SAN Server.

Status—Displays the status of the Database Server and allows you to start and stop Performance Collector services on your server. You should restart services only if something is not working properly or if too large a percentage of system resources are being consumed.

Data Sources—Allows you to view all the data sources such as Fabric, LAN, VMware, SMIS and so on.

Logs—Allows you to view all the logs from the various services running on the Cisco DCNM-SAN Server.

Server Properties—Allows you to view all the fields defined in the server.properties config file.

SFTP Credentials—Allows you to view the SFTP credentials.

License—Allows you to view the licensing details.

Federation—Allows you to view the server federation details.

Clients—Allows you to view all the clients connected to the Cisco DCNM-SAN Server.

Note You cannot start or stop the Database Server services using DCNM Web Client. If you are using the Microsoft Windows operating system, you need to use Microsoft Management Console to stop, start, or restart the Database Server.

If you see a database file lock error in the database log, you can fix it by shutting down and restarting the database server using the Web Client.

Only network administrators can access the DCNM Web Client Admin options. Network operators cannot view the Admin options.
