Initializing the user database
Before you or the customer can manage the appliance using the command line interface (CLI)
or the user interface, you must initialize the user database by completing the following
procedures in the order shown:
■
Creating the initial administrator account

Creating the initial administrator account
To create the initial administrator account on the appliance nodes:
1. Set the console display to node 0.
The hp OV CASA Console window opens.
2. Click sanos admin > initialize.
The
sanosadmin
window opens.
3. Ask the system administrator for a user name and password to create an administrator
account. The system administrator must use the chosen user name and password to
manage the appliance and create other user accounts.
4. When prompted, enter the user name and password (enter the password twice).
The
sanosadmin
prompt is displayed.
5. Set the console display to node 1.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 4. For step 4, enter the same user name and password you specified
on node 0.
After you create the administrator account, all future accounts that you or the system
administrator create on one node are automatically propagated to the other node.
