Logging On to the everRun Availability Console for the First Time

After completing the installation of the everRun software, log on to the everRun Availability Console to accept the end-user license agreement (EULA) and to provide network information. You can also 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.

Prerequisites: To log on to the everRun Availability Console the first time, you need the following:

To log on to the everRun Availability Console for the first time

  1. From the remote management computer, type the IP address of node0 (primary) into a browser address bar.

    The log-on page of the everRun Availability Console appears.

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

    The Stratus everRun 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, installation 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 everRun 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. (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:

    • Primary and secondary DNS
    • NetMask
    • Gateway address for node0
    • IP address for node1
    • Gateway address for node1

    Confirm that the IP address for the management network (ibiz0) is correct.

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

  7. You can upload a new license key now or later from the Product License page. To do so now, click Choose File in the LICENSE INFORMATION window under Upload License Key. Navigate to the license .KEY file that you received from Stratus. Select the license file and click Upload.

    To do so later, click Finish. See Managing the Product License for information on uploading a license.

  8. Click Finish.

The everRun Availability 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-Installation Tasks, if necessary.
