Overview of the Flex Appliance default users
Flex Appliance comes with default users for the Flex Appliance Console, the Flex Appliance Shell, and the application instances.
The following list describes the default users and their functions:
The admin user
This user is the default user for the Flex Appliance Console. Use this user to sign in to the console for the first time and for operations that require elevated privileges.
The hostadmin user
This user is the default user for the Flex Appliance Shell. Use this user to perform the initial configuration and for any other tasks that involve the shell.
The sysadmin user
This user is the default user for the Veritas Remote Management Interface. Use this user and the remote management interface to access the Flex Appliance Shell for initial configuration, or as an alternative to an SSH session.
The default application user
Each application that is supported on Flex Appliance also has a default user. See the NetBackup Application Guides for specifics.
