Chapter 2 Configuring and Upgrading the System
●
Use only the root account to run administrative commands in the appliance. Only the root account in
the appliance is properly configured for administrative access to the ESXi host. Avoid creating
additional administrative users in the appliance. The default root password is "ftServer" and changing
the password is recommended from the security viewpoint.
●
To avoid directly logging in to ftSys Management Appliance with the root account from security
viewpoint, log in to ftSys Management Appliance with the ftadmin account, and then, gain root
privileges by the su command before running the administrative commands. The default ftadmin
password is "ftadmin" and changing the password is recommended as well as that of the root account.
●
Avoid deploying your own scripts and third-party agents in the ftSys Management Appliance that may
interfere with the continuous uptime of your system.
●
Avoid manually updating the CentOS software or manually adding and removing RPM software
packages in the ftSys Management Appliance.
●
ftSys Management Appliance is monitored by the ESXi host, and even if it stops, it is automatically
restarted.
●
The duplicated state continues even when ftSys Management Appliance stops. However, when a
module is isolated and duplication ends while ftSys Management Appliance is stopped, the module is
not embed again while ftSys Management Appliance is stopped.
●
When your ft Server is included in the VMware vSphere cluster, set "VM restart priority" of ftSys
Management Appliance to other than "disable". When it is set to "disable", the ft Server may not be
duplicated properly.
