When the PowerProtect Data Manager OVA is successfully deployed and the VM is powered on, you can access the PowerProtect Data Manager UI. Enter the IP address or FQDN configured during the deployment using https://appliance_hostname.
The security certificate that encrypts communication between the PowerProtect Data Manager UI and the web browser is self-signed. A self-signed certificate has been signed by the web server that hosts the secure web page being viewed by a web browser. This certificate is enough to establish an encrypted channel between the web browser and the server. However, it has not been signed by a trusted authority.
The next step is to configure the basic settings for the PowerProtect Data Manager. Google Chrome is the only supported browser.
