Before you start

The console operations described in this chapter are controlled by certain console operation options such as Notification Properties and Expand Map Node. The VMware Smart Assurance Service Assurance Manager Configuration Guide provides instructions on changing the console operations.

Also, accessing the consoles described in this chapter requires attaching the Global Console to the Global Manager (for example, INCHARGE-SA) in your deployment. The VMware Smart Assurance Service Assurance Manager Operator Guide provides information about starting the Global Console, logging in, and attaching to a Manager.

Console access is controlled by the user profile associated with your VMware Smart Assurance user account. You do not need a user account with administrative privileges to access the consoles described in this chapter.
