Changing the Default Password

Important To protect your network, HP strongly recommends that you immediately

change the default password for the XenServer host module.

Using XenCenter, select the Citrix-Xenserver host in the Resources pane (Server

View). On the menu bar, click on Server and select Change Server Password ...

from the list of choices. You also can use the XenServer shell to change the

password. For more information, search for “How to Change The Root Pass-

word Of A XenServer” in the Knowledge Center on the Citrix Support site

(http://support.citrix.com).

Setting the Time on the XenServer

Using the correct system time on the module is a pre-requisite for minimizing

conflicts and accessing some advanced features, such as pools, offered by

Citrix.

The time on the module is not preserved when the module is shutdown, so the

time must be checked and set, if necessary, each time the module is booted

or reloaded. You may set the time automatically, using NTP, or manually. By

default, the module is configured to use NTP. Be sure verify a connection to

an NTP server and to set the correct time zone when using NTP.

Use the menu-based xsconsole to manage network time on the module.
