When you select the Console icon on the control panel (or the “+” tab) Fabric Manager GUI displays a new console screen where you must enter a username, password, host, and port (SSH uses port 22 by default). After logging in, the Interactive Console window changes.
The Interactive Console provides:
For example, when you type opare, the console analyses the input, selects the opareport command, and then displays the help content for this command with arguments and their meanings. If you continue to type opareport -o, the panel scrolls to the available output types for argument -o.
The Interactive Console also manages consoles by tabs and each command can be issued either in the same console or a new console. Issuing commands in a new console enables you to compare results from similar commands by switching tabs.
To close a console, click the
icon on the tab. To log into a console, click the + icon
(+).
