Logging on to and exiting the Novera EPIC Kernel

Ensure that the Novera EPIC Kernel is running before you use the Novera EPIC Management System because the Novera EPIC Kernel is the central component of the Novera EPIC Management System. To enable you to log on to the Novera EPIC Kernel, an administrator’s account is created when you install Novera EPIC. Novera is the default user name and password for this account. Once you have logged on, you can change the administrator’s password.

Once you finish using the Novera EPIC Management System, you must exit the Novera EPIC Kernel to exit the Novera EPIC Management System.

The Novera EPIC Kernel contacts the LDAP server during initialization to retrieve configuration and environmental information from the LDAP database. The LDAP database tells the Novera EPIC Kernel which internal services to start, which service objects to instantiate, the maximum number of simultaneous services to support, and the location of other Novera EPIC Kernels in the network. Once the Novera EPIC Management System is running, it modifies the LDAP database.
