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.

    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 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

    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 later, click Continue.

    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. Click Continue.

  8. 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 installation (see Accessing the Host Operating System).
  9. 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.
