Consoles and Operator Tools

The hypervisor console controls the Management host. Management’s browser tools operate on Management or the connected appliance. Choose the interface for the affected component.

Management Host Console

Action	Use
Show System Information	Inspect host network identity, addresses, routes, DNS, configured time source, and synchronization.
Refresh Status	Read the current Management service state.
Show Startup Progress	Follow startup while Management is starting.
Logs	Inspect recent MTG host logs, follow service logs, inspect warnings, or save a limited log export from the current boot to persistent storage.
Start Management Application / Stop Management Application	Explicitly start or stop Management. Starting requires the configured network to be active and time synchronized.
Configure Network	Edit the supported host network and time settings while Management is stopped.
Manage Certificates	Change Management TLS settings. Follow the certificate workflow and verify the browser certificate afterward.
Show Recovery Status / Retry State Discovery	Inspect and retry state discovery when the host enters recovery mode. These actions do not restore appliance data.
Reboot / Shutdown	Restart or power off the Management host after its confirmation prompt.

Action

Use

Show System Information

Inspect host network identity, addresses, routes, DNS, configured time source, and synchronization.

Refresh Status

Read the current Management service state.

Show Startup Progress

Follow startup while Management is starting.

Logs

Inspect recent MTG host logs, follow service logs, inspect warnings, or save a limited log export from the current boot to persistent storage.

Start Management Application / Stop Management Application

Explicitly start or stop Management. Starting requires the configured network to be active and time synchronized.

Configure Network

Edit the supported host network and time settings while Management is stopped.

Manage Certificates

Change Management TLS settings. Follow the certificate workflow and verify the browser certificate afterward.

Show Recovery Status / Retry State Discovery

Inspect and retry state discovery when the host enters recovery mode. These actions do not restore appliance data.

Reboot / Shutdown

Restart or power off the Management host after its confirmation prompt.

Available actions depend on the host and service state. Public Management hostname, HTTPS port, and private Management cluster address are fixed for initialized Management state. They are distinct from the editable host network settings.

The console does not reset Management administrator passwords or interpret appliance artifact bundles. See Management reconstruction if browser administrator access was lost.

Operations Terminal

Support > Terminal opens a shell with the cluster credentials from the retained artifact bundle. It requires an installed, connected appliance. If it is unavailable, reconnect first.

Open Support > Terminal and select Open terminal.
Allow pop-ups for Management if the browser blocks the new tab.
Use the shell for a specific operator or support procedure. Commands can change the appliance; internal Operations scripts are not a general-purpose customer CLI.
Return to the Terminal page and select Close terminal when finished. Resume terminal reopens an existing running terminal.

Use Support > Diagnostics for an archive download. See collect diagnostics.

Other Browser Tools

Open Gitea for advanced configuration and history, Headlamp for cluster inspection, and Grafana for monitoring. Access depends on Management permissions and, for cluster tools, the active connection. A browser login session and a cluster access lease are separate.
