Logging on to the Stratus One View Console for the First Time

Log on to the Stratus One View Console for the first time to create the first administrative account and configure initial settings.

To log on to the One View Console for the first time

1. On a remote management system, open a web browser and type the initial IP address for the One View Console, which you obtain as described in Obtaining and Setting the Initial IP Address for the Stratus One View Console.
2. Read the Stratus One View Console EULA and then, if appropriate, click I Accept to accept it and continue.
3. Create the first administrative account. Specify your Email Address and Password, and then retype your password under Confirm Password. Click Add to continue.

4. On the IP Settings page, configure the network settings for the One View Console. A static IP address is preferred to DHCP because a DHCP address can be lost, Should that occur, you must change the One View Console IP address on each managed platform by using each platform’s everRun Availability Console. Select either Use DHCP or select Use Static IP Settings and do the following:

   • If you select DHCP (default), click Next to continue.
   • If you select a static IP address, specify the settings that you obtained from your network administrator and click Save. The page reloads from the new address. Click Next to continue.

5. On the SMTP Settings page, configure the SMTP settings for the One View Console. Click Save, and click Next.

   You must specify an SMTP server to create new users, because the One View Console sends a confirmation link to their email addresses. For details, see Managing SMTP Settings.

6. On the Settings for Backup page, enable periodic backups of your One View Console settings or restore settings from an existing backup as described in Configuring Backups for the Stratus One View Console.

   Caution: Enabling One View backups configures the One View Console to save your settings to a backup file inside the One View appliance. To ensure that the backup is available if the One View appliance crashes or is lost, you must copy the backup file to another system on a regular basis.
7. Click Finish to complete the wizard and display the One View login page.
8. Log on to the One View Console with the administrative account you created in step 3.
9. Complete the tasks described in Stratus One View Console Post-Installation Tasks.
