Completing an advanced initialization

Use the vSnap server console to initialize a vSnap server that is deployed in a physical environment. Initializing by using the vSnap server console offers more options for initializing the server, including the ability to create a storage pool by using advanced redundancy options and a specific list of disks.

To initialize a vSnap server by using the vSnap server console, complete the following steps:

1. Log in to the vSnap server console with the user ID serveradmin. The initial password is sppDP758.
   You can also use a user ID that has vSnap admin privileges that you create by using the vsnap user create command. For more information about using console commands, see vSnap server administration reference.
2. Run the vsnap system init --skip_pool command. The command requires no further interaction and completes all initialization tasks except for the creation of a storage pool. The process might take 5 - 10 minutes to complete.
