Section D1: First Time Setup

Completing the HP OneView appliance First Time Setup is designed to be simple and straightforward. By default, the

management interface is configured for IPv4DHCP. If DHCP is not available on the management network you can access the

Kiosk Browser within the VM console from the vSphere Client to complete the initial setup. If DHCP is available, you can

configure the appliance with a browser remotely to complete the First Time Setup. The First Time Setup consists of

Accepting a License Agreement, HP Remote Support Access for remote troubleshooting, changing the default Administrator

account password and configuring IP information.
