After the Veritas Resiliency Platform virtual appliance deployment, you are expected to configure the Resiliency Platform component that you have deployed, through the bootstrap process. The bootstrap process is automatically invoked when you log in to the virtual appliance console for the first time using the admin user login. The following settings are configured as part of this process to set up the component:

• Host Network settings: Settings such as hostname, IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server. Before using the hostname and the IP address, you need to register them with the DNS server.

• Appliance settings: Settings such as NTP server.

• Product settings: Configures the virtual appliance as a Resiliency Manager, Infrastructure Management Server (IMS), or Replication Gateway.

This configuration is done through the bootstrap process only for the first time. After the successful configuration, the bootstrap process is disabled. The subsequent admin user logins to the virtual appliance will automatically start with klish menu. If you want to change these settings later, you can use klish menu for changing these settings.
