Description

Home Page

One of the ways to tweak Infrastructure Manager is to choose the first screen to be loaded when you log in to Infrastructure Manager from the Home Page drop-down menu.

Interface Language

As Parallels Infrastructure Manager is localized into a number of languages, this drop-down menu lets you choose the default interface language for Infrastructure Manager. This setting affects the language of both your current Infrastructure Manager session and all future sessions if User Default is chosen as the interface language on the Infrastructure Manager login screen.

Local Time Zone

This setting affects the date and time information found on such Infrastructure Manager pages as Tasks Log, Alerts and Events. Choose the time zone you wish to be used when viewing different kinds of logs.

GUI Elements Style

You may set the Infrastructure Manager toolbar buttons to represent the operations which can be performed by clicking them with only icons, or only text, or with both visual and verbal elements.

Interface Skin

Here you may choose a suitable interface skin for your Infrastructure Manager affecting such elements as the Infrastructure Manager general layout (framed or non-framed), icons and images, and the color palette.

Menu Details Level

You can choose what items will be displayed under the Infrastructure and the Logical View on the left Infrastructure Manager menu: folders, the Hardware Nodes distributed over them, Containers - those that run on the Hardware Nodes, in the Infrastructure, and arbitrarily sent to appropriate folders, in the Logical View.

Enable Tooltips

Selecting or clearing this checkbox defines whether you will see short descriptions of the elements of the Infrastructure Manager interface when pointing them with the cursor.

Show Top Right Buttons Pane

Selecting this checkbox makes a button pane always appear at the top right corner of Infrastructure Manager. You can also call up this pane by clicking an arrow in this corner. Use this pane, for example, to watch the Virtuozzo start-up tutorial.

Allow Dynamic Status Updates

Selecting this checkbox enables the statuses of Containers to be updated automatically on the left Infrastructure Manager menu, the Container dashboard screen and the Tasks pane without refreshing the current page manually. If you have problems with the connection to the Master Node (e.g. the bandwidth is low or the connection is unstable), enabling this function might make your work in Parallels Infrastructure Manager inconvenient and slow. In this case it is better to clear the checkbox.
