ToolsControl Console

ToolsControl Console allows users to connect to ToolsControl without access to ToolsControl Portal. ToolsControl Console can be used to perform a small number of tasks that are detailed later on this page. If ToolsControl Portal is unavailable, log in to ToolsControl Console on the bare-metal machine or virtual machine on which ToolsControl is installed.

Information

This view displays a description of options that are available in ToolsControl Console. The web address to ToolsControl Portal is displayed.

Administration

If a security key was entered during the installation of ToolsControl, the user must enter the security key to access the Administration section. A different security key can be entered per node. A security key cannot be entered or changed in ToolsControl Portal.

If ToolsControl is upgraded from a version earlier than 1.6, security keys are not in use. In this case, go to Administration to enter a security key that will be used from now on to access the Administration section.

Remove Node

This option allows the removal of cluster nodes. A node must be turned off to be removed.

Any node can be removed, except for the node through which the user is logged in to ToolsControl Console. To remove a node, log in to ToolsControl Console on another node and remove the requested node.

When a node is removed, it is permanently deleted. The removal of a node cannot be undone.

Enable or Disable Service Account

The service account can be used by Atlas Copco employees to perform service. By default, the service account is disabled.

If the option reads Enable service account, the service account is currently disabled. Select Enable service account and confirm the action to enable the service account.

If the option reads Disable service account, the service account is currently enabled. Select Disable service account and confirm the action to enable the service account.
