Initial setup of the guest OS or VMs

After deploying the virtual appliance, run the setup tool (opsvmsetup) to specify the guest OS initial settings. If you want to use Protector, specify settings for Protector. If you want to use Common Services, you must manually register Analyzer probe in Common Services.

1. From the VMware vSphere Client, log on to the guest OS.
2. Run the opsvmsetup command.
   Note:

   • You can run the setup tool only once. To change the settings after running the setup tool, use the operating system commands.
   • This setup tool is stored in /opt/OpsVM/vmtool but you can run the tool from any location.
3. In the setup tool, you can specify the following settings:
   • Network settings
     • Host name: The Analyzer probe server does not support FQDNs. Omit the domain name when specifying the host name.
     • DHCP: RAID Agent does not support the use of DHCP. If you are using RAID Agent, specify n.
     • IP address: The setup tool specifies an IPv4 address.
     • Default gateway
     • Network mask
     • DNS server (2 servers maximum)
     • Password-based SSH root login
   • Time settings
     • Time zone
       • Specify the time zone in the area/location format. If you do not know the specifiable values, use the following command in advance to check the available time zone values:

         timedatectl list-timezones

       • The times and time zones of the following servers must be synchronized:
         • Analyzer server
         • Analyzer detail view server
     • NTP server
   • Security setting
     • Server certificate
   • Protector settings
     • Whether to use Protector
     • Protector master host name
     • Protector master IPv4 address
4. Check the contents of the list that displays your specified settings, and then apply the settings.

   After the settings are applied, the guest OS restarts automatically.

5. If the virtual machine is not connected to the network when deployed, complete the following steps to enable the network adapter:
   1. Log on to the guest OS.
   2. Stop the virtual machine by running the shutdown command.
   3. Right-click the virtual machine that you want to stop, and then select Edit Settings.
   4. In the Hardware tab, select Network adapter 1, and then select the Connect at power on check box.
   5. Run the Power On the virtual machine.
