Logging On to the ztC Console for the First Time

When deploying the system, log on to the ztC Console to accept the end-user license agreement (EULA) and to provide network information. You can also register the system and acquire a permanent license now, though you can do so later. When a system is first installed, it has a temporary license that expires within 30 days.

To log on to the ztC Console for the first time

  1. From a networked PC or laptop, type the IP address of node0 (primary) into a browser address bar (Step 5 of ztC Edge 100i Systems: Quick Deployment (R001Z)). This IP address is the one you noted in Step 4 of ztC Edge 100i Systems: Quick Deployment (R001Z).

    The log-on page of the ztC Console appears.

  2. Enter admin for the Username and admin for the Password (or other credentials, if provided), and then click LOGIN.

    The Stratus ztC Edge END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT (EULA) appears.

  3. Read the EULA and then, if appropriate, click Accept to accept it. If you do not accept the EULA, deployment terminates.

    The INITIAL CONFIGURATION page appears under Config.

  4. Under NOTIFICATIONS, the box for Enable Support Notifications is checked, by default. If you do not want the ztC Edge system to send health and status notifications to your authorized Stratus service representative, uncheck the box. You can change this setting later (see Configuring Remote Support Settings).

  5. Under SYSTEM IP, for Static System IP, enter the static system IP address that you obtained from your network administrator (in ztC Edge 100i Systems: Quick Deployment (R001Z), see the User-supplied Components section). (The system IP address is sometimes referred to as the cluster IP address.)

  6. Also under SYSTEM IP, select DHCP (the default) or Static. For DHCP, you do not need to provide additional information.

    If you select Static, the node0 static IP address that you entered during deployment appears. Provide the following values (in ztC Edge 100i Systems: Quick Deployment (R001Z), see the User-supplied Components section):

    • Primary and secondary DNS
    • NetMask
    • Gateway address for node0
    • IP address for node1 (if it exists)
    • Gateway address for node1 (if it exists)

    After you have entered the network information, click Continue. After a short delay, the LICENSE INFORMATION window appears.

  7. You can register the system and install a permanent license now (Step 6 of ztC Edge 100i Systems: Quick Deployment (R001Z)) or later. See Registering the System and Acquiring a Permanent License.

  8. Click Finish.

The ztC Console appears and the initial logon is complete. Bookmark or otherwise make note of the system IP address for use when logging in to the console in the future.

Perform additional tasks in Post-Deployment Tasks, if necessary.
