Initializing vStor
To initialize the vStor server after installation, follow these steps using the vStor Management Interface:
Verify the server installation and ensure the hostname or IPv4 address is resolvable.
Open a web browser and navigate to
https://<vStor_hostname_or_IP>:8900
.Log in with the username
admin
and the set password (default isadmin
).Upon first login, you’ll see the following options:
Create Pool: Automatically creates a storage pool during initialization.
Initialize without Pool: Initializes the server without creating a storage pool.
Attempt Config Recovery: Initializes and recovers from a previous configuration.
Manual Initialization: Requires SSH access and command-line initialization using
vstor system init
.
Attention! You should run vstor system init
with a flag --skip_pool
to manually create pools after initialization. This option allows you to create a storage pool using advanced redundancy options and a specific list of disks.
Note. Multipool is enabled by default for all vStor versions. To disable it, run vstor system init
with --multipool off
flag.
Click Yes to start initialization, which may take several minutes. Once completed, the dashboard will indicate successful initialization. If the Create pool during initialization was selected, a pool will also be created.
