If you are following the installation process and this is your
first time accessing the Oracle Virtual Compute Appliance Dashboard, the Virtual
IP address still needs to be configured and the Dashboard is
not available on the public network. In this case, your
workstation must be patched directly into the Oracle Switch ES1-24,
using the supplied blue Ethernet cable connected to port 24.
(Or use port 19 of the switch on the right if 100 Mbit/s
transfer rate is required.) The IP
that should be used in the URL to connect to the Dashboard is
192.168.4.3
or
192.168.4.4
, depending on which management node assumes the master role.
[5] If you are following the installation process and this is your first time accessing the Oracle Virtual Compute Appliance Dashboard, the default user name is ovcaadmin and the default password is Welcome1.
