  2. Within the hypervisor management window, open the Console window of the deployed EPM Server.

  3. At the command type sudo netconf and press ENTER.

  4. Within the Configure Static Networking screen, configure the following server settings. Press TAB to navigate between the fields.

  7. You MUST reboot before continuing. At the command prompt type sudo reboot to apply the configuration. Wait while the system is rebooted.

  8. At the command prompt, test the network configuration by pinging the Domain Controller using its FQDN name.

Optional settings

Once the server is rebooted, a number of additional configuration options are available in the console window.

  • Set console password (RECOMMENDED): The EPM Server login account, named support, is automatically logged in to the server console. We recommend a password is set for the account by running passwd and following the steps.

  • Configure a static IP: If you have a need to change the static ip of the EPM Server then you can use sudo netconf.

  • SSH Access Configuration (Optional): SSH access maybe required to debug an issue or upload a TLS certificate . To allow administrators to SSH onto the EPM Server click here.

Next steps

The EPM Server has now been deployed and configured. The next step is to complete the system settings which will allow you to start rolling out EPM to users.
