Control Console

This is a text-based interface available used to run basic configuration tasks in the vOneCloud appliance.

The Control Console is available by opening the vOneCloud appliance console in vCenter. It requires no authentication since only the vCenter administrator will be able to open the vOneCloud console.

This component runs in two stages. The initial bootstrap stage, and the basic configuration stage.

Initial Bootstrap

The initial bootstrap is a configuration wizard which is part of the deployment process of vOneCloud, and it must be run. During this step the user will be prompted to configure the following aspects:

  • Configure Network
  • Set the root password
  • Change the password for oneadmin in OpenNebula
  • Configure http proxy

Once this wizard has been executed the user is ready to open the vOneCloud Control Panel at http://<appliance_ip>:8000 in order to continue with the deployment configuration and to start the OpenNebula service.

Note that during this step the oneadmin account password will be set, which will be then used to access the vOneCloud Control Panel.

Basic Configuration

At any given moment, the vOneCloud administrator may choose to open the vOneCloud appliance console in vCenter to perform some additional configuration:

  • Networking configuration, which is useful if the networking configuration changes at any given time.
  • Proxy configuration.
  • Change the oneadmin password. Note that this step requires that the vOneCloud administrator restarts the OpenNebula service in the vOneCloud Control Panel.
