Connecting to the VAST Web UI

Make sure your PC has network access to all of the VAST Cluster compute servers (CNodes).
Browse to: https://<VMS_VIP>/, where <VMS_VIP> is the management VIP that you provided during installation. This is the IP used to connect to the VAST Cluster management server (VMS).

The VAST Web UI opens.
If this is your first time connecting to the VAST Web UI, click I agree to accept the VAST Data End User License Agreement.
Enter your Username and Password to log in.

For first time login, use the factory default VMS user account credentials:
- username: admin
- password: 123456.
Note

VAST Cluster has one factory default VMS user account. You cannot delete the factory default VMS user account or reduce its permissions. After first time login, you can change the password for the default VMS user, create additional VMS users, and/or configure role based access with LDAP groups. For all options, see Authorizing VMS Access and Permissions.

For subsequent login, enter a valid user name and password. This may be:
- A user name and password belonging to a user group on your organization's authentication provider (requires mapping the group to a VMS role), or
- The user name and password of a VMS user account.
Click Login.

You're now logged into the VAST Web UI and you're viewing the Dashboard.
