After you set up the appliance, perform the following post-installation tasks:
The appliance ships with a self-signed digital certificate. The certificate works for both the appliance (port 9443) and the PlateSpin Transformation Manager software (ports 8182 and 8183).
NOTE:This configuration task is optional. For higher security, Micro Focus recommends that you use a trusted server certificate that is signed by a trusted certificate authority (CA) such as VeriSign or Equifax.
You can use your own existing signed certificate, or you can use the Digital Certificate tool on the appliance to create a certificate, have it signed by a trusted certificate authority, and then add it to the appliance. See Section 3.5, Digital Certificates.
For Hard Disk 2, you can optionally change the SCSI controller to VMware Paravirtual (PVSCSI) for Hard Disk 2.
NOTE:This configuration task is optional.
After the installation is complete, power on the appliance.
Ensure that the system is running. Log in as the appliance vaadmin user and verify the health of the appliance and services.
Shut down the appliance.
In VMware, change the SCSI controller for Hard Disk 2 to VMware Paravirtual.
Power on the appliance.
