Prerequisites for SL1 Hardware Appliances
Perform the following steps to prepare an SL1 appliance for configuration:
- Install the SL1 appliance in a server rack and connect the power cables according to the instructions provided with the hardware.
- Connect the SL1 appliance to your network.
- Connect a monitor and keyboard to the SL1 appliance.
Initial Configuration for SL1 Hardware Appliances
You must perform the following tasks during initial configuration of an SL1 hardware appliance shipped by ScienceLogic:
- Change the password for the administrative user em7admin.
- Change the primary IP address of the appliance. You must have already allocated IP addresses for the SL1 appliances.
- Change the netmask for the primary IP address of the appliance.
- Change the IP address for the network gateway.
- Change the IP address for the primary Nameserver.
Changing the Password for em7admin
To change the password for the default administrative user em7admin for console logins and SSH access:
- Either go to the console of the SL1 appliance or use SSH to access the server.
- Log in as user em7admin with the appropriate password. The default password is em7admin.
-
At the shell prompt, type the following:
passwd
- When prompted, type and re-type the new password.
Changing Network Settings
To change the IP address, Netmask, Gateway address, and DNS Server for an appliance in the ifconfig file:
- Either go to the console of the SL1 appliance or use SSH to access the server.
- Login as user em7admin with the appropriate password.
- Enter the following at the command line:
sudo ifconfig
- Your output will look like this:
ens32: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

- Examine the output, find the first interface in the output, and note its name.
- Use the vi editor to edit the settings for the interface. To do this, enter the following at the command line:
sudo vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-interface name you noted in step #4
For example, from our output, we could enter:
sudo vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ens32
- Your output will look like this:
TYPE=Ethernet
BOOTPROTO=none
DNS1=10.64.20.33
DEFROUTE=yes
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=no
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes

PREFIX=24
GATEWAY=10.64.68.1
IPV6_PEERDNS=yes
IPV6_PEERROUTES=yes
- You can edit one or more of the following settings:
- DNS1=IP address of the DNS server that will be used by the SL1 appliance.
- IPADDR=IP address of the SL1 appliance.
- PREFIX=netmask for the SL1 appliance.
- GATEWAY=IP address of the network gateway that will be used by the SL1 appliance.
- Save your changes and exit the file (:wq)
- At the command line, enter the following:
sudo service network restart
