Initial setup from the CLI

Once you have connected to the Operations Manager CLI for the first time (username root, password default), you may perform initial setup tasks from the CLI.

Any additional configuration tasks may performed either using the web UI, or the ogcli command line tool.

Change the IP address on NET1

Upon login, a banner displays NET1's current network addresses:

net1:static1 192.168.0.1/24
net1:dhcp 192.168.67.103/24 

To set an alternative static IP address (and optionally DNS and default route), e.g. to make the Operations Manager reachable for ongoing configuration, run:

sudo ogcli update conn default-conn-1 <<'END'
ipv4_static_settings.address="192.168.1.100"
ipv4_static_settings.netmask="255.255.255.0"
ipv4_static_settings.dns1="192.168.1.1"
ipv4_static_settings.gateway="192.168.1.1"
END

Network address information for all interfaces may be displayed by running:

sudo ip address show

Set the root password

On first login, you are prompted to change the default root password.  To change the root password at any other time, run:

sudo ogcli update user root 'password="oursecret"'

Create an admin account

For ongoing configuration, we recommend using separate administrator accounts rather than sharing the default root account.  Once admin accounts have been created, the root account may be disabled from logging in.

Create a new administrator account:

sudo ogcli create user <<'END'
username="adal"
description="Ada Lovelace"
enabled=true
no_password=false
groups[0]="admin"
password="oursecret"
END

Login as the new administrator, then disable the root account from logging in:

sudo ogcli update user root 'enabled=false'
