Navigating the Rapid Recovery Core Console
When you log into the Core Console, and any time you click the Home
icon, the Home page appears. The
Home page gives you a view of your Rapid Recovery Core, with two options. In the main viewing area, the default
content is the new Core dashboard, which displays a set of real-time reports on your system. Default dashboard
reports include recent transfer job status, per machine transfer, a repository overview, and connectivity state for
protected, replicated, and recovery points-only machines. Or you can switch to the classic Summary Tables view.
In this view, the title of the page shows the display name of your Rapid Recovery Core, and you can see summary
tables showing protected machines, repositories, and recent alerts. For more information, see
Home page (summary tables view)

, respectively.
On the Home page (and on every page in the Core Console), the left navigation area shows the items that are
protected on your Core. You can navigate to other pages in the UI by doing one of the following:
•
Clicking the corresponding icon from the icon bar in the left navigation area. The options accessible from the icon bar
include Replication, Virtual Standby, Events, Settings, and More.
•
Expanding the (More) menu on the icon bar, and then selecting a destination
•
Clicking a button or menu option from the button bar. Buttons include Protect, Restore, Archive, and Replicate.
When you select an item from the left navigation area, the focus of the Core Console changes to display summary
information about that item. For example, if you click the name of a protected machine, the Core console displays
information about that machine only, rather than the Core. In this example, the display name of the protected
machine appears as the title of the page. A submenu appears to the right, letting you view specific information
about the protected machine. The menu options include: Summary, Recovery Points, Events, Settings, Reports,
and More.
To return to viewing information about the Core, including dashboard reports, or a summary view of multiple
protected or replicated machines, click on the Home
icon on the top left of the UI. On the Home page, you
can toggle between the dashboard view and the summary page view by clicking the red link at the top right of the
page.
