Infrastructure orchestration console overview
The infrastructure orchestration console enables you, as an administrator, to deploy, manage and
monitor the overall behavior of IO and its users, templates, services, and resources. For example
as an administrator you can:
• View status, progress, and details of completed and executing requests
• View resources
• Approve or reject pending requests
• Perform pool management
The infrastructure orchestration console displays the following tabs:
Home Displays an overview of Matrix infrastructure orchestration operations providing
statistics, resource usage, and links to access IO tasks.
Templates Enables you to view details, and create services from published templates.
Administrators and architects can also create, edit, and delete templates.
Requests Allows you to view and manage the requests generated while performing
other tasks such as a service instantiation or a service deletion.
NOTE: This tab is empty until an administrator or user has submitted a request
and the request is in-progress or completed.
Services Enables you to start, stop, restart, standby, view details, or delete service
templates.
Servers Displays available server pools, including the name of the resource, pool
details, and server details. A server pool is a set of resources that you can

the current utilization of the resources in the pool and assess which resources
are still available for use.
Storage Displays a summary of the Matrix OE visualization - Manage Storage Pools

links to the following setup Tasks:
• View Insight Audit Messages

These settings are critical and are used by the IO controller to make allocation
decisions and to configure servers on service infrastructure creation.
Software Enables you to view available Matrix infrastructure orchestration software and
add annotations, such as the size of a software image, OS and processor
architecture compatibility limitations, or notes.
