Logging On to the ztC Console for the First Time

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 the deployment guide for your system).

   Note: If a security message appears, proceed to the web site. You can add a security exception later, to allow the site to load without the message (see Configuring Secure Connections).

   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 the deployment guide for your system, 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 the deployment guide for your system, 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 the deployment guide for your system) or later. See Registering the System and Acquiring a Permanent License.

8. When registration is complete, click Finish. The ACCOUNT SECURITY window appears.

9. For New Password in the ACCOUNT SECURITY window, type a new password for the user admin. Type the password again in Confirm Password. The password must conform to the password policy of the system (for information, see Password Policy).

   Notes:  

   • You must change the password for admin now, for security. You can change it again later, and you should change the default user login name for the admin account. You make these changes on the Users & Groups page (see Configuring Users and Groups).
   • For additional security, also change the password for root in the host operating system of each PM as soon as possible after deployment (see Accessing the Host Operating System).
10. Click Finish.
