Creating the administrator account

An administrator account is only required when deploying the first server in the cluster. If you are deploying an additional storage server, instead of opening a window that prompts you to create an administrator account, the application prompts you to authenticate the server in the cluster.

When deploying the first server in the cluster, you need to create an administrator account. This account is used to work in the web interface for sizing management, the application administrator menu, and to work in Technical Support Mode.

By default, the user name of the administrator account is admin. You must enter a password for that user account.

To enter a password for the administrator user account:

1. In the password field, enter the password for the administrator account.

   To select a row, you can use the ↑, ↓, PageUp, and PageDown keys. The selected row is highlighted in red.

2. In the confirm field, enter the password again.
3. Select Ok and press Enter.

The Setup Wizard proceeds to the next step.
