This topic provides information about using the legacy My Cloud Services console.

This section provides an overview of how you use the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management – My Cloud Services console. From this console, you can perform the following actions on the services that your cloud administrator makes available to you.

Note

Because your cloud administrator can customize the My Cloud Services console, the default view that you see and the services available to you might differ from the views and services described in this topic.

My Services tab

When you log on to My Cloud Services console, the default view displays the My Services tab:

The My Services tab displays the status of your provisioned service requests. The My Services tab contains the following subtabs:

  • Services
  • Servers
  • Storage
  • PaaS

The link bars allow you to see details regarding these types of resources.  For example, you can view commission end dates for provisioned services, load balancer pools for servers, or attached servers for network disks, among many other details.

Services

The Services link bar displays the status of your provisioned services. When you select a service in the list:

  • Detailed information about the service is displayed in the Details pane on the right side of the window, including:
    • Summary details about the server
    • Related requests
    • Price
    • Applications
  • The lower pane gives you the option of displaying information about server or PaaS resources.
    • When you click PaaS in the heading of the lower pane, an icon for each provisioned database is displayed.
    • When you click Servers in the heading of the lower pane, an icon for each server that is part of the service is displayed. 
      Using the icons you can click the Remote Connect icon remote_connecticon.gifto start a remote terminal session on the server or you can click the Details icon serverdetails_icon.gifto display detailed information about the server. Information about servers is displayed on the Servers link bar and information about the database is displayed on the PaaS link bar. In either case, information is filtered to show only information about the selected server or database.
