Setting the time zone
Use the administrative console to set the time zone of the IBM Storage Protect Plus virtual appliance.
Adding virtual disks
You can add new virtual disks (hard disks) to your IBM Storage Protect Plus virtual appliance by using vCenter.
Resetting the serveradmin password
The serveradmin account is a system user account that is a preconfigured on IBM Storage Protect Plus and vSnap server. It is used to manage both of the virtual appliances. If you forget the serveradmin password, you must use the root account to reset the password. Because the password for the root account is not provided for deployments of IBM Storage Protect Plus or vSnap server, you must reset the root password and then reset the serveradmin through the virtual console.
