Deployment Guide

Step 2: Start the Virtual Machine

After completing the VM Creation wizard and deploying the VM, power on the AFM VM and connect to

the console.

NOTE: Before starting the VM console, modify the VM settings by clicking Edit Settings.

1. To start the VM, click it and select Power > Power On.

2. To open the VM console, right-click it and select Open Console.

3. Open the console and log in with the default credentials. Log in from the console or SSH for the first

time using the superuser account. If an IP is assigned to the VM, AFM prompts you to change the

password for the superuser account. This password is used for both the web URL login and

console login.

NOTE: The default AFM user name is superuser and password is Superuser1. When the

software requires HyperV Shell CLI command, the Shell CLI user name is superuser and the

password is

Superuser1.

4. When the VM is on and DHCP is available, an IP address is automatically assigned to the VM. If no IP

is assigned to the VM because DHCP is not enabled, AFM displays with following message: “There is

no IP address assigned. Press the <Enter> and the Network Configuration Wizard will be started (This

wizard can be manually started by selecting "Configure System" from the console menu):” If this

message displays, press

Enter and configure the network:

a. When the network configuration warning message appears, enter Y to continue.

The Select Action screen displays.

b. Select Device configuration. To navigate between elements, use the Tab and down arrow keys.

The Network Configuration screen displays.

c. Select the eth0 device.

NOTE: Do not rename the device during the configuration process.

d. In the Static IP field, specify the static IP Address of the AFM server. To verify IP address is not in

use by another system, ping the IP address assigned to AFM. If the destination host is

unreachable, you can safely assign the IP address to AFM.

e. Select OK to save your changes.

f. Select Quit to exit this screen. The AFM VM now reboots for the network changes to take effect.

5. Manage the AFM virtual appliance.
