Logging on to the OpsCenter console as a default admin user

This section provides the procedure to logon to OpsCenter. After successful installation, you can log on to the OpsCenter user interface with default admin user account credentials.

To log on to the OpsCenter console as a default admin user

  1. Enter a user name and password, and select a domain from the Domain drop-down list. For administrator initial logon, the user name is admin and the password is password or any custom password that you chose during the installation.
  2. Select OpsCenterUsers(vx) from the Domain drop-down list.

    The domains that appear in the Domain drop-down list include the OpsCenterUsers(vx) domain and domains of the users that are added to the OpsCenter console.

  3. Click Log On. The Change Password page is displayed that prompts you to change your default password for security purposes.

    Note:

    The new OpsCenter users (including the default 'admin' user) require to change the password before logging on to the OpsCenter user interface. After a new user enters the default user credentials, the Change Password page is displayed that prompts the user to change the default password for security purposes. However, the users whose accounts existed in the previous OpsCenter version and were upgraded can logon to OpsCenter user interface with their old passwords.

    The password rules are also provided on the Change Password page.

  4. On the Change Password page, enter the old password and new password. Re-enter the new password for confirmation and click OK.

    See Changing your OpsCenter password.

After successfully changing the password you are able to logon to the OpsCenter user interface. At the time of first login, Home > Getting Started page is displayed where you can do initial OpsCenter configuration.

For the next login, a monitoring overview of the NetBackup master servers appears on the OpsCenter user interface. When you log off from the console, OpsCenter saves your settings and preferences and uses these settings when you restart the console again.

Note:

The first time you log on, OpsCenter uses the default language of the Web browser. If OpsCenter does not support this language, it uses English.

After initial logon, you can specify a default language or locale from Settings > User Preferences > General. If you do not set a default language, OpsCenter uses the Web browser language (or English).

See Setting user preferences.
