Parallels Virtual Automation Basics 21

2 Install the PVA Agent for Parallels Server or PVA Agent for Virtuozzo on the

physical servers you want to manage. The choice on the PVA component depends

on the software virtualization product which is already installed on the physical

server. After you have installed these components, you can register the physical

server in the Master Server.

Note: Power Panel is installed together with PVA Agents by default, but can be

disabled on your wish.

3 On the Master Server or any other computer, open the available Web browser and

or hostname) and the open TCP port (default port is 4648) in the address bar. The

resulting line may look like as follows: https://10.50.120.70:4648

When logging in from the Management Server, replace the IP address with

localhost.

Note: You can access the Management Server and, therefore, all Parallels Virtual

Automation functionality from any computer on the network, irrespective whether it

has any Parallels Virtual Automation components installed or not. The point is that

as soon as you connect to the Management Server, you automatically connect to its

Control Center and thus can use it remotely.

4 When the browser displays the login window, type your user name and password

and click the Login button. To log in as an administrator, provide the administrative

credentials for the operating system installed on the Master Server.

5 Now that you have successfully logged in to Parallels Virtual Automation, you can

deploy your virtual infrastructure by registering the required physical servers and

creating virtual environments. The following section - Interface Overview (p. 22) - will

help you to get accustomed to the Parallels Virtual Automation interface, while the

Managing Virtual Environments (p. 33) and the Managing Physical Servers (p. 24)

chapters will introduce the basic management operations.
