Configuring the Whitewater Gateway
The
Whitewater Installation Guide
and
Whitewater User’s Guide
provide full details for requirements and installation of the
Whitewater gateway. The configuration is broken down into the following activities:
Configuring the Whitewater Management Interface
Connecting to the Whitewater Management Console
Configuring Whitewater Gateway Licenses
Configuring Whitewater Data Interfaces
Configuring Cloud Settings
Configuring a CIFS Share
Configuring the Whitewater Management Interface
After you install and start the Whitewater appliance, connect to the Whitewater CLI to configure the management interface:
1. If you are using a virtual Whitewater gateway, connect directly to the console session using the VMware vSphere client and skip
to step 3. If you are using a physical Whitewater gateway, plug the serial cable into the Console port and a terminal.
2. Start your terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term Pro. The terminal device must have the following settings:
Baud rate: 9600 bps
Data bits: 8
Parity: none
Stop bits: 1
vt100 emulation
No flow control
Note: If you are using Whitewater with a terminal server, the terminal server must use hardware flow control for the port connected
to Whitewater.
3. Log in as an administrator user (admin) and enter the default password (password):
login as: admin
password: password
4. The configuration wizard automatically starts after you have entered the login and default password. Enter
yes
at the system
prompt to begin the configuration wizard. For example:
