Pattern name [short name]: Cloud Manager Orchestration Console [zw_zos_clients]
Description: The Cloud Manager Orchestration Console is a java-based thick client that administers the functionality of the Orchestration Server from a SLES server or a Windows 7 or 8.x desktop on the same network with the Orchestration Server. Before you can perform any Orchestration Server management functions, such as creating user accounts and managing activities of the server, you need to install the Orchestration Console. The console is a thick desktop client designed for administrative tasks including infrastructure management (for example, managing computing resources) and monitoring. You can install the console on the server itself or on another network computer.
This pattern includes both a GUI console and two command line interface tools. These clients let you troubleshoot, initiate, change, or shut down server functions for the Orchestration Server and its computing resources. For information about the client tools, see the Cloud Manager Administrator Reference.

The Orchestration Console and Clients are available as a downloadable Windows installation program (.exe file) in the ISO images. For information about using this program, see Section 5.3, Alternative Installation Methods for the Orchestration Console and Clients.
Installation recommendations: No other Cloud Manager components need to be installed on the machine where you install the console and clients. Provided that the machine where you install the clients can connect with Orchestrate Servers in your data center, where you install the clients is at your discretion.
