Each client’s installation status is indicated by the colored border around its icon, and the installation gauge shows the relative progress:

Green: The operating system is completely installed, booted, and running with no errors or warnings.

Yellow: A warning condition exists and must be investigated.

Red: An error condition is present. The operating system is partially installed, or the installation has stopped.

No color: Installation has not yet started or the client has been stopped.

Client icons are shown for all booted clients and those that can be used as recovery systems. These systems are known to Ignite-UX by their existence in the /var/opt/ignite/clients file.

File menu

The File menu contains basic Ignite-UX functionality:

Search - Find clients that match a text string.

Print - To print a listing of systems, the display must be set with View->By Properties

Exit - Quit Ignite-UX.

View menu

Use the View menu to customize the Ignite-UX GUI display:

Columns - Choose which client attributes to display in which column. These selections are apparent only when the object list is displayed by properties.

Filter - View a subset of clients by selected criteria.

Sort - Orders the displayed clients by sort criteria.

By Name and Icon - Displays clients graphically.

By Properties - Displays clients in a text format rather than in the default graphical representation.

TIP: Using the By Properties view and sorting the list makes it easier to scan for clients that have finished installing. For example, to view the clients by the percentage of completion, select View->Sort->% Complete: Descending. The list of clients will then appear with the clients closest to completion first, as shown in Figure 3.
