Configuring the NetMRI Virtual Appliance

After installing the NetMRI appliance, follow the instructions below to configure it to run on your network.

1. Log in to VMware Virtual Center, ESX, Workstation, etc.
2. Power on the NetMRI virtual appliance you imported earlier.
3. Open the console view of your NetMRI virtual appliance.
4. After the initial boot, you will see a license agreement. Read the agreement (press Space to page down). At the prompt, enter yes, and then press Enter.
5. The boot will continue for about five minutes as the NetMRI application configures itself.
6. When the blue screen is displayed, select Log in using the arrow keys, and then press Enter.

7. Enter the default user name admin and the default password admin. This puts you in the admin shell of NetMRI, a command-line interface. 

   You can change the password later when running through NetMRI browser-based interface.

8. Complete the installation process. For more information, see Configuring NetMRI.
