The S1 user guide

The StorONE web application provides a user-friendly graphical interface to manage the node server. Since the web application is entirely compliant with the HTML5 standard, using it only requires a web browser.

Before you begin

1. Make sure that the S1 operating system is installed on your node servers.
2. Make sure that the node servers have been properly configured, in particular, the management interface must be configured in the node servers.
3. In the TUI configurations, make sure that you have inserted a valid license key.
4. Make sure that you have the user name and password of the user that was created during the license validation process (with the TUI). Use the username and password of this user to access the web application later.

Getting started

To open the Web application follow these steps:

1. Open your favorite web-browser
2. In your web-browser, enter the IP address of the management network interface that was configured for the node server. The web service page appears.

   
   

3. Select Web GUI, the web GUI login page appears.

   
   

4. In the login dialog box, enter the user name and password and select Sign in. If the login and password are correct, the Web Application Home page appears.

   
   

The Home page provides concise graphical information that gives an overview of the system. This includes information about the distribution of total capacity, storage capacity of the pools, IOPS and throughput, IO size and latency, and utilization of computing resources.

Dynamic Display

The S1 web application incorporates interactive tables that offer several capabilities, including:

• Column expansion: Users can expand columns to view additional information or widen the display for better readability.
• Column and row filtering: Users can apply filters to the columns and rows, enabling them to display specific subsets of data based on desired criteria.
• Detailed information extraction: By double-clicking on a row, users can extract detailed information associated with that particular row. This functionality allows for a closer examination or access to additional data related to the selected row.

Some of the tables allow on-the-fly operations:

• Use Show to control the number of rows displayed per page.
• Use the Search text-box to filter the table.
• To filter the table by searching within a specific column, use the search box in the last row of that column.
• Use the Choose Column admin drop-down list to expand or reduce columns in the table.

Exporting tables

The S1 system supports exporting tables in JSON, XML, YAML, or CSV formats. You can select the desired format to export the table to your local machine.

Managing Fields: Adding, removing, and mandatory

Within the S1 web application, the execution of operations and extraction of information depend on the completion of fields. Fields can be characterized as follows:

• A field can be either mandatory or optional. A field is considered mandatory if it is marked with a red asterisk icon .
• Fields with the Remove icon can be removed by selecting the icon.
• The Add application icon, allows to add additional settings to the field.

Tracked Operations and system Indicators

The S1 web application interface displays a notification balloon for each executed operation.

• Successful operation: When the S1 system completes operation successfully, a notification balloon appears on a green background.
• Pending operation: When operation is pending, a notification balloon appears on a yellow background.
• Failure operation: When an operation fails, a notification balloon appears on a red background.

The S1 system also logs notifications. You can view these notifications by selecting Notifications from the top navigation menu. You can display all logged notifications by selecting See All Notifications.
