5{pve} is simple. There is no need to install a separate
6management tool, everything can be done via your web browser (Latest
7Firefox and Google Chrome is preferred). To access
8VM/CT console, a built in HTML5 console is used. As alternative, SPICE
9can be used.

11As we use Proxmox Cluster file system (pmxcfs),you can connect to any
12node to manage the whole cluster.

23redirected to a light weight touch based UI.

50The GUI has 3 sectors:
51
52* On the left side is the navigation bar. The navigation bar is
53 structured into 4 different types. It has 4 different views,
54 which can be selected on the top.
55** Datacenter: contains all the settings belonging to all machines.
56** Nodes: represent the host where the VM/CT runs on. It is named like
57 the hostname. Normally the name was set by the installation.
58** Entity: can be a VM, container or a storage.
59** Logical pools: it is possible to group entities to a group for easy management.
60* On the right side is the main management center, where all content
61 of the selected entity form the navigation bar is shown.
62* On the bottom is the task log section, where all tasks are shown.
