CMConsole

The CMConsole consists of two types of windows: a main window and a resources window.

Main CMConsole Window

The main CMConsole window has 5 panes as follows

Nodes Pane - Allows a quick view of nodes in the system, the load on these nodes, whether or not they accept remote objects, and other node information. Clicking on a node brings up detailed information. Nodes with their load bars darkened do not accept remote objects.

When a node is selected by clicking on its button, several buttons on the right side of the screen become active. They are:

Stop - Stops this node and removes it from the system.
Toggle Accept - Toggles whether or not this node accepts new objects.
THE BELOW THREE BUTTONS ARE NOT ACTIVE IN THIS RELEASE
Remote Output Mode - Configures where remote nodes redirect stdout and stderr. (Browser and screen-saver based nodes will only redirect output from the out member of MPIApplication and ElementImpl.) Network sends output to SysCon continually while memory and file store the output on remote nodes.
Display Mode - Configures how output from remote nodes will be displayed locally. If the remote nodes are storing output remotely you must press update local display in order to view/receive the output.
Update Local Display - Causes remote nodes which are storing output remotely to send it to SysCon.

Config Managers Pane - Shows remote configuration managers to which the local configuration manager is linked. To connect to a remote configuration manager type the hostname on which the configuration manager resides into the entry box. <PENDING more detail>

Jobs Pane - Shows the pending and active job queues for static and dynamic jobs.

Resource Definition Stores Pane - Shows active resource definition stores, and allows loading of new resource definition stores. Resource definition stores may be loaded either from a file or from a URL. Also, when resource windows (see below) are closed, they may be reopened by clicking on the display button. <PENDING - more detail>

Resources Window

Each resource definition file read in by the system will have an associated resources window. This window consists of two main panes:

Application Pane - This window provides a simple means for viewing applications, and submitting a request for the system to run a given application. Application are selected using either the AppType tree which lists applications by category, or the package tree which lists applications by package name.

Clusters Pane - Allows the viewing of clusters in the system, and which nodes are active in those clusters. The clusters pane also allows nodes to be started and stopped as groups.
