### Default login, and password

* Operating system / SSH: login: **root** password: **vPr0tect**
* WebUI: login: **admin** password: **vPr0tect**

## First steps after deployment

After downloading and importing the image to the environment set the IP address:

* run `nmtui`
* `Edit a connection`
* Select network interface, and edit its network settings.

Now you should be able to log in to the web console using the URL:

```
https://STORWARE_HOST
```

where STORWARE\_HOST is the hostname or IP of your Storware Backup & Recovery Server

Increase disk size (in this example to 500G):

```
vdo growPhysical -n /dev/mapper/FileSystem
vdo growLogical -n /dev/mapper/FileSystem --vdoLogicalSize 500G
xfs_growfs /dev/mapper/FileSystem
```

Then go to [Initial configuration](https://docs.storware.eu/70/deployment/initial-configuration) to add virtualization hosts.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** Importing the image will install both the server and node. If You need only the Storware Backup & Recovery node, then You have to stop and disable Storware Backup & Recovery server service.
{% endhint %}

```
systemctl stop vprotect-server
systemctl disable vprotect-server
```

You can register nodes installed manually (RPM/Ansible) to the Storware Backup & Recovery server installed from OVA.
