Prime Access Registrar Jumpstart Configuration
shows the three primary layers in the Prime Access Registrar Jumpstart appliance. Each of these layers has its own
capabilities. Each of these layers can be controlled independently as well as remotely, and each requires its own independent

You can connect to each layer as described below:
•
Connecting to Virtual Appliance (Open Virtualization Format) Layer—You can connect to the Prime Access Registrar
application using a web browser. Use http://vaip:8080, where vaip is the virtual appliance IP address (which is also the IP
address of the RHEL 6.2 Operating System). For a secure connection to the Prime Access Registrar Web UI, use
https://vaip:8443.

You can manage the RHEL 6.2 OS by connecting to it using ssh -l root vaip. There is no window system installed on the
Prime Access Registrar virtual appliance, but the standard Linux commands necessary to manage a networking application
are all present on the RHEL 6.2 OS.

Connecting to ESXi Hypervisor Layer—You can connect to the ESXi hypervisor layer, identified by the IP address esxip,
using the VMware vSphere client. esxip is the IP address designated to the ESXi layer.
using the VMware vSphere client. esxip is the IP address designated to the ESXi layer.
Note
The VMware vSphere client is supported only on systems running Microsoft Windows.
For SSH connection to ESXi layer, enter ssh -l root esxip.
•
Connecting to Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC) UCS Management Console—This allows you to configure
and manage the ESXi layer. You can connect to the CIMC by using a browser using http://ucsip/. ucsip is the IP address
assigned to the Jumpstart. After you log into CIMC, you can start virtual KVM console to get access to the ESXi
configuration window and manage hardware such as power, temperature, and fan RPM.
