A Data Node instance provides a service menu for basic system configuration. Use of the service menu is not required except to set the default system password.

To access the Data Node instance's service menu via ssh: log in as the 'bricata-user' using the SSH key associated with the instance. i.e. run the command 'ssh -i my_aws_rsa_key bricata-user@instance_host_name'.

Substitute the file your private SSH key is stored in for my_aws_rsa_key and the hostname of the instance for instance_host_name.

You AWS instance does not ship with a default password, once logged in select "Change Password" to set your default password. This password will be required to manage the instance from the CMC

You may use this menu to perform the following additional actions if needed. Manually configure the networking, reset and reboot the appliance. *The password set function in the blue menu appears to not function, however it does, this will be addressed in a future release.

All other system configuration is managed via the CMC, further information can be found in the User Guide, Please contact OpenText MySupport or your Sales representative for access to support portal and further documentation.
