# About the Maintenance console

For information on accessing the Maintenance console, see Access the Maintenance console in the HPE OneView User Guide.

The Maintenance console, shown in Example of the Maintenance console main menu , provides a limited set of administrative commands that might be required when you cannot access the appliance’s web user interface (UI).

Example of the Maintenance console main menu

In the upper left of most Maintenance console screens, the local appliance is identified by its host name.

The Maintenance console displays an icon and a message about the state of the appliance, which can indicate one of following actions is occurring:

- Normal operation

- Appliance is offline

- Appliance is being updated

- Appliance is starting up, shutting down, restarting, or temporarily unavailable

- Appliance is being restored from a backup file

- Appliance is being reset to factory default settings
