Console configuration
When you start your virtual machine, you will be directed to the configuration user interface displayed within the virtual machine console.
From here, you will be required to configure the basic settings of the instance. The minimum settings to apply is the network configuration:
- Static IP Address or DHCP.
Service start-up
After applying the correct network configuration can take 1-2 minutes before all services are started. You can view the status of these in the status section.
From this interface, you can also:
- Reboot the instance.
- Restart services.
- View the status of the instance.
Web administration
Once done with the network configuration, you can proceed to the web administration user interface. This is the primary interface for managing the configuration of the running instance.

For the initial setup of the system, you will need to upload a valid license file (.lic) via the OnPrem Admin web
