Software enhancements
Function | Description |
---|---|
Planning and installation | A minimum of 301 GB of total storage space is required for the virtual appliance (see Supported hardware and software – XClarity Orchestrator ). The updates feature requires a dedicated disk with a minimum of 50 GB storage (see Installing XClarity Orchestrator and Updating XClarity Orchestrator). |
Administration | You can manage Lenovo XClarity Administrator resource managers using an IPv6 address (see Connecting resource managers). You can modify resource manager properties and credentials (see Connecting resource managers). You can manage Schneider Electric EcoStruxure IT Expert instances as resource managers (see Connecting resource managers). You can click any of the linked statistics on the Dashboard to view a filtered list of data that fit the criteria (see Viewing a summary of your environment). |
Authentication | You can modify the amount of time, in hours, that a user session can be open before the session expires and you are automatically logged out, regardless of user activity (see Configuring user security settings). By default, if you have not interacted with the user interface for 30 minutes, your read/write session expires, and you are prompted for a password the next time you attempt to modify data. You may continue to perform read-only operations in the user interface without logging in again if the read only timeout has not been reached (see Configuring user security settings). By default, if you have not actively viewed data for 1440 minutes (24 hours), your user session expires and you are automatically logged out the next time you attempt to change the view (see Configuring user security settings). Before a user session is about to expire, a popup is displayed that allows you to extend the session. |
Monitoring resources and activities | You can view a log of all jobs that are started by XClarity Orchestrator (see Monitoring jobs). You can view details and status for infrastructure resources that are managed by Schneider Electric EcoStruxure IT Expert resource managers (see Viewing infrastructure resources status and details). You can view alarms that are reported by EcoStruxure IT Expert for managed network devices in the Events and Alerts pages (see Monitoring active alerts, Monitoring events, and Events and alerts from Schneider Electric EcoStruxure IT Expert). You can forward metrics data to a TruScale Infrastructure Service (see Forwarding metrics data to a Lenovo TruScale Infrastructure Services). |
Provisioning resources | You can manage the repository of Lenovo XClarity Administrator updates, including refreshing the updates catalog, downloading updates from the web, and manually importing update packages (see Downloading and importing updates). You can create and assign update-compliance policies to XClarity Administrator resource managers (see Creating and assigning update-compliance policies). You can apply updates to XClarity Administrator resource managers (see Applying and activating updates to resource managers). |
Predicting and analyzing problems | Custom aggregations are created automatically when you create a custom alert rule (see Creating custom analytics reports). Custom analytics alerts are listed on the Alerts page (see Monitoring active alerts). You can view heatmaps that illustrates number of devices that have the performance-metric values within specific range over a certain time period (see Analyzing performance and usage metrics). |
