4.5 Settings necessary to use the custom UI display function
The custom UI display function displays in the Details area the window corresponding to the IM management node selected by a user. A window corresponding to each IM management node must be defined in advance.
You have to specify the following settings to use the custom UI display function:
-
Place the HTML files defining the windows to be displayed in the integrated operation viewer inside a subfolder or a subdirectory.
The location to place the definition files is the same between the physical host and the logical host. In the case of a cluster configuration, the same files must be placed on both the physical host and the logical host.
Create either a subfolder or a subdirectory in one of the following locations. Note that you cannot use a subfolder or subdirectory with a name that begins with hitachi.
- For Windows
-
Manager-path\public\customUI\
- For UNIX
-
/opt/jp1imm/public/customUI/
For details about how to create files defining the windows and definition examples, see 6. Customization of Integrated Operation Viewer Window in the manual JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference.
-
Edit the Intelligent Integrated Management Base definition file (imdd.properties).
Specify the following properties. You cannot omit any of these properties.
jp1.imdd.gui.settings.contentViews.<custom UI Id>.title
jp1.imdd.gui.settings.contentViews.<custom UI Id>.url
jp1.imdd.gui.settings.contentViews.<custom UI Id>.sid
jp1.imdd.gui.settings.contentViews.<custom UI Id>.target
For details about a properties, see Intelligent integrated management infrastructure definition file (imdd.properties) in Chapter 2. Definition Files in the manual JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference.
-
In the integrated operation viewer, select the IM management node that you have defined in the Intelligent Integrated Management Base definition file (imdd.properties), and confirm that a window shows up.
If the definition information is invalid, a message shows up in a dialog box. In that case, follow the instructions provided in the message.
If you are checking definition information by using Internet Explorer as the Web browser, do not enable Compatibility View of Internet Explorer. If you attempt to display a window with Compatibility View enabled, the window might become stuck at the loading state. Once you are done checking definition information, you can enable Compatibility View of Internet Explorer.
Although the location of HTML files is the same between the physical host and the logical host, you can define which HTML file to display by using the Intelligent Integrated Management Base definition file (imdd.properties) on the individual hosts. For example, if you simultaneously start JP1/IM - Manager belonging to the physical host and the one belonging to the logical host on the same host, you can view custom UI displays corresponding to the different HTML files on the integrated operation viewer. For details about the methods and objects available in HTML files you created, see 6.3 Methods and objects that can be used in the user definition window in the manual JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference.
For details about the Intelligent integrated management infrastructure definition file (imdd.properties), see Intelligent integrated management infrastructure definition file (imdd.properties) in Chapter 2.
