The following list describes the default users and their functions:

• The admin user

  This user is the default user for the Flex Appliance Console. Use this user to sign in to the console for the first time. Once you do so, you are required to add a local user, and then the admin user is removed.

• The hostadmin user

  This user is the default user for the Flex Appliance Shell. Use this user to perform the initial configuration and for any other tasks that involve the shell.

• The sysadmin user

  This user is the default user for the Veritas Remote Management Interface. Use this user and the remote management interface to access the Flex Appliance Shell for initial configuration, or as an alternative to an SSH session.

• The default application user

  Each application that is supported on Flex Appliance also has a default user. See the NetBackup Application Guides for specifics.
