1. Connect to the VM guest (running a stripped-down version of Linux) as "root." The initial default password is "delphix."
   1. Change this password as soon as possible.
2. Run the Linux command ifconfig -a | grep -i hwaddr.
   1. Record the "HwAddr" output for later use. This should be six hexadecimal numbers delimited by colons, such as 0A:1B:2C:4D:5E:6F.
3. Change to the directory /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
4. Edit the ifcfg-eth0 file to make the following changes:
   1. Copy the existing ifcfg-eth0 file to another name like ifcfg-eth0.save.
   2. Change bootproto=dhcp to bootproto=static.
   3. Using the "HwAddr" value saved from step #2 above, add a line reading HWADDR=<hwaddr-value-captured-above> .
   4. Using an available IP address value obtained from your network administrator, add a line reading IPADDR=<available-IP-address> .
   5. Using an IP netmask value obtained from your network administrator, add a line reading NETMASK=<netmask-spec> .
   6. Save the changes.
5. Make sure that output from the hostname command matches the value set within vSphere.
   1. If the output does not match, use the Linux command hostname <short-IP-hostname-value>  to set it.
6. Create a default gateway route for the static IP address assigned above.
   1. Typically, the default gateway address has the fourth digit of ".1" for the IP address of the server
      1. The server at IP address 192.168.7.10 might have a gateway of 192.168.7.1.
      2. Obtain the gateway IP address from your network administrator.
   2. Use the Linux command route add default gw <gateway-IP-address> .
7. Make sure that the contents of the /etc/resolv.conf file is set appropriately to permit DNS name resolution.
   1. Ensure that the line that specifies the IP domain name is correct for your network. 
      1. For example, the line reads domain delphix.com for servers within Delphix.
   2. Ensure that at least one (and preferably two or more) DNS nameserver IP addresses are specified and that they are reachable via "ping."
      1. For example, each line should read nameserver <DNS-nameserver-IP-address>. Running the Linux command ping <DNS-nameserver-IP-address> should complete successfully.
8. Once you have made all of these changes, restart network services on the Linux OS.
   1. Run the Linux command service network restart and ensure that it completes successfully.

1. Access Mission Control by opening a web browser using the IP address or DNS qualified host name. Mission Control does not currently support SSL connections, so you should use http, not https.

2. Mission Control ships with one generic Delphix Admin User. The User ID is “delphix_admin” and the password is “delphix.”

Once logged in as the Delphix Admin User, change your password. You can find instructions to do this in the Change a User Password section found below.

Mission Control Toolbar

 

Reports Tab

Interactive reports such as Storage Breakdown and History display interactive graphical representations of historical and current storage usage across all Delphix Engines you are monitoring. These visualizations of storage and disk capacity enable you to analyze and mediate storage across Delphix Engines from multiple perspectives.

Graphs tab

To navigate to the Report configuration tab:

1. On the right-hand side of the toolbar, click the configuration icon.  

2. Click Reports.  

• Enable/disable individual reports to determine which ones are available in the reports drop-down menu

    Mission Control Email Reports Configuration Window 

Required: Click Add Email Report. A series of fields will appear to help guide the configuration and automation of emailing selected Mission Control reports. The following is a description of each of these fields. 

• The Report field provides a selection of the specific Mission Control report you would like to use for the Email Report function. Note: Only tabular reports are available for email.  
• Sort by Selection provides a drop-down of the column you wish to sort by, which varies based on the report you have selected above, and whether the results should be ascending or descending.     
• In the Limit the Report To fields, a selection choice appears allowing you to run and email a report with all data rows or to enter the number of data rows you would like included in the report.
• In the Schedule field, fields are provided to select the scheduled day and time that you want the report to be sent. 
• In the Send to field, enter the email addresses to which you want to send the report.  Note: Use a comma to separate email addresses.  

Once you have configured all of the fields above, save the information by clicking Add Email Report.  The newly added report will appear. You will then have access to additional features to edit, send a report now, or click the X button to delete the report.  

Optional:  Click the Edit button when you need to change or enter new information into any of the configuration fields found in the Add Email Report functionality.  

Optional: Click the Send Now button to either:

• Send a test email report during the process of configuring an email report in order to verify the report settings or design. 
  Or
• Send a one-off email outside of an automated and scheduled email report.
