The management interface is the port through which the virtual server is managed and administered. It is also the port through which integration of the Central Management Series appliance and a managed server is performed. With the single-port address type, the management interface is also the port through which a managed server requests and downloads software updates from the DTI network.
Initial settings must be configured to set up the management interface of the server, and to allow access to the network, change the default administrator password, and so on.
Management by VMware vCenter server
If your virtual server is managed by VMware vCenter server, the installation wizard includes a Properties screen that allows you to enter some initial settings for the server, including your activation code and initial CLI commands to configure the server. You can also reset the password for the admin user on this screen. If your virtual server does not include a Properties screen (or you choose not to use it), you can use the configuration wizard in the console of the server to fully configure the server, including entering the activation code, changing the admin password, and supplying initial startup commands. Whether you use the Properties screen or not, the configuration wizard must be run to fully set up the server. However, the wizard prompts will be different if you provide settings on the Properties screen.
Management by Microsoft Hyper-V
If your virtual server is managed by Microsoft Hyper-V, you can use the set_keys.ps1 PowerShell script provided in the Endpoint Security (HX) Hyper-V deployment .zip file to supply some initial settings for the server, including the activation code, a new admin password, and initial CLI commands to configure the server. You can then launch the configuration wizard to complete the setup.
Alternatively, you can skip the set_keys.ps1 PowerShell script and use the configuration wizard in the console of the server to fully configure the server, including entering the activation code, changing the admin password, and supplying initial startup commands. However, the wizard prompts will be different if you first provide settings using the set_keys.ps1 PowerShell script.
Note
You cannot paste the virtual server activation code in the configuration wizard prompt in the server console. Instead, the activation code must be manually entered into the wizard. Trellix recommends that you specify the activation code using the Properties screen (ESXi appliances) or the set_keys.ps1 PowerShell script (Hyper-V appliances).
