Status

The last page listed on the left side of your Dashboard is the “Status” page. The Status page has two tabs:

  • Status: Lists the workload VMs in this Frame account.
  • Active Sessions: Lists the current active sessions for this Frame account.
note

Customer Administrators can access the status details for all organizations and accounts associated with the tenant by navigating to the Customer or Organization Dashboard from the initial Admin Console view and clicking Status.

Status

The Status page displays a list of all VMs associated with your Frame account. Server information is listed by workload ID, server name, public IP, private IP, VM type, instance type, and server status.

  • VM Type: Specifies the type of workload - Sandbox, Utility Server, Persistent Desktop, Production, or Test.
  • Instance Type: Name of the instance type for this workload VM. Instance type names are specific to the underlying infrastructure. In the case of AHV, the instance type name will be the name you defined under the Cloud Account for AHV.
  • Status: Current status of the workload VM
    • Almost ready: VM is currently undergoing maintenance or in the process of powering on.
    • In session: The VM is currently being used by a user.
    • Rebooting: VM is rebooting.
    • Running: VM is powered on and available.
    • Starting: VM is powering on.
    • Stopped: VM is powered off.
    • Stopping: VM is being powered off.
note

For Persistent Desktop Frame accounts, the Status page will also include a User column showing the user email address assigned to the persistent desktop.

If you want to see the latest status, refresh the page at any time by clicking the “Refresh” button in the upper right corner of the page.

For each VM type and the workload VM status (Running, Stopped, In session, etc.), administrators can perform actions on the workload VM by clicking on the kebab menu.
