nodes during installation. By using the shared Virtual IP address,
you ensure that you always access the Oracle Virtual Compute Appliance Dashboard
on the active management node.

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.
