Logging On to the everRun Availability Console

Log on to the everRun Availability Console to manage the everRun system. Using the console, you can manage the system, including its physical machines (PMs), virtual machines (VMs), storage, and networks. You can also view alerts and logs, and perform other administrative tasks.

To log on to the everRun Availability Console

1. Type the everRun system’s IP address or name that is a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) into a browser address bar:
   http://IP_address
   OR
   http://FQDN_name

   IP_address is the everRun system’s static IP address, supplied during installation.

   FQDN_name is the FQDN corresponding to that IP address.

2. When the logon page appears, enter your Username and Password.

   If you have forgotten your password, click Forgot Password? and the Reset Password page appears. Enter the requested information to reset your password.

   Note: Resetting a password requires that you have an email account on the system, with an email address, as configured in your local user account (see Managing Local User Accounts). If you are unable to receive email, you must contact your system administrator, who will request a password reset for you. (The system administrator needs to ask the administrator of the host OS to change the password. The host OS administrator changes the password by using AVCLI commands on the primary node.)
   To reset your password

   Note: To receive email when resetting your password, the Mail Server must be configured. See Configuring the Mail Server.

   1. When the Reset Password page appears, enter your Username and click Continue. An email is sent to the email address listed with your local user account. The email contains a link to a reset password page.

   2. In your email account, open the email with the reset-password link, and click the link. The Reset Password page re-appears.

   3. For New Password and Confirm Password, type your new password. The new password must conform to the Password Policy of the system.

      Click Continue.

   4. A page appears, with a message that the reset was successful and that you can log in to the system with your new password. Click Finish.
3. Click LOGIN.

Password Policy

The password policy of the system requires that your password meet these conditions:

• Its minimum length is 8 characters.
• It must contain both upper- and lower-case characters.
• It cannot be the username.

Note: The interval between login attempts is 500 ms, so, after a login attempt, you must wait at least a half second to log in again.
