Logging in to IBM StoredIQ Administrator

The system comes with a default administrative account for use with the IBM® StoredIQ® Administrator user interface. Use this account for the initial setup of IBM StoredIQ.

Before you begin

The system administrator must ensure that these tasks are completed before you can use IBM StoredIQ Administrator:
  • Install and configure IBM StoredIQ.
  • Ensure that the data servers are up and running.

Procedure

  1. Open the IBM StoredIQ user interface from a browser.
    Ask your system administrator for the URL.
  2. In the login window, enter your user name or email address and password.
    To log in for the first time after the deployment, use the default administrative account: enter superadmin in the email address field and admin in the password field. For security reasons, change the password for the superadmin account as soon as possible, preferably the first time you log in. Also, create extra administrators for routine administration so that their actions can be audited.
  3. Click Log in to open IBM StoredIQ Administrator.
    The superadmin account has access to all IBM StoredIQ applications on the application stack. To switch applications, click the triangle arrow icon and select the application that you want to access from the list of the available applications.
