IBM FSM Explorer
This section gives you a short overview on how to navigate around in the IBM FSM Explorer.
IBM FSM Explorer has a horizontal pull-down menu, and a vertical menu. The horizontal
menu is divided into two menus, one in the top black frame, showing health and job status,
and the second in the blue frame, which guides you to different tasks and hardware
recourses.
To get to IBM FSM Explorer, click Launch IBM FSM Explorer in the home tab of IBM Flex
System Manager. It will open IBM FSM Explorer in a new tab. Figure 3-49 shows the IBM
FSM Explorer home page.

When working in IBM FSM Explorer, it is important to know that some tasks will be opened in
IBM FSM Explorer, and other tasks will be opened in IBM Flex System Manager. When
choosing tasks in the horizontal menu, it will inform you if the selected task is opened in IBM
Flex System manager. Figure 3-50 shows how to identify where a chosen task will open.
