Understanding the ETEMS Workbench

You can open multiple appliance editors at the same time. The editors are stacked in a tabbed panel. Tabbed editor windows allow you to work on more than one appliance or switch to editors from add- on features.

Editors can be stacked on top of other editors or positioned left to right. When multiple appliance editors are open, you can drag one editor next to another for a side-by-side or top-to-bottom comparison.

Click and drag a view or editor tab to move it. Or, right-click a view or editor tab to move, size, maximize or minimize the view or editor. You can also maximize views and editors by double- clicking their tabs. Double-clicking a tab again restores the previous layout.

File menu options allow you to save, save all, close, or close all open editors.

Perspectives

Perspectives show the functionality associated with a task, such as appliance configuration, certificate management, or policy management. Each perspective has its own unique set of editors, views, and toolbars that are relevant to its task. Only one perspective is visible at any time. ETEMS includes the following perspectives:

Appliance Manager is a tool for defining appliance configurations, pushing configurations to appliances, comparing configurations, and upgrading appliance software.

Certificate Manager is a tool for managing certificates on appliances, including generating certificate requests and installing certificates.

Policy Manager (ETPM) is a tool for creating and distributing security policies and encryption keys.

To open a perspective:

1There are two ways to open a perspective. Do one of the following:
