Accessing and using the Veritas Remote Management interface

The IPMI web interface is known as Veritas Remote Management interface. You can use Veritas Remote Management interface to log on to the appliance shell.

Before you use the remote management interface, the following prerequisites must be met:

  • The Remote Management interface (IPMI port) must first be configured.

  • At least one power cable must be connected to a functioning power source.

  • At least one user must be enabled to use the LAN channel(s).

Note:

A default user is configured in the system. The default user name is sysadmin. The default password is P@ssw0rd, where 0 is the number zero.

To access and use the Veritas Remote Management web interface from a remote computer

  1. Log on to a remote computer in the network and open a supported Windows browser.
  2. Enter the remote management (IPMI) port IP address (https://) that is assigned to the remote management port. The following page appears:
  3. Enter your login credentials. The default user name is sysadmin. The default password is P@ssw0rd, where 0 is the number zero.

    Click Login.

  4. Click the Remote Control section located at the top of the page. The Remote Control section lets you remotely monitor and control the server.

    Do one of the following to launch the Flex Appliance Shell:

    • Click Launch iKVM over HTML5 to launch the Appliance shell. A new window opens that enables you to remotely monitor and control the appliance.

    • Click Remote Control > KVM/Console Redirection . Click Launch Console to launch the appliance shell menu.

      A JViewer application opens that enables you to remotely monitor and control the appliance.

      This application requires Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 8.0 or later. Install Java. You can login to the JViewer application using the same user name and password from step 3

      Google Chrome 73.0.3683.86 and Mozilla Firefox 66.0.2 or later versions are supported

  5. You can now access and log on to the Flex Appliance Shell.

    By default, the user name hostadmin has the password, P@ssw0rd where 0 is the number zero.

    Type "?" and then enter the "system" command to actually see the list of available commands.
