Start CA Virtual Assurance

After a successful installation and post-installation configuration, you can start CA Virtual Assurance.

Follow these steps:

1. Select CA, CA Virtual Assurance, and start CA Virtual Assurance.

   The CA Virtual Assurance login page appears.

   Note: When you start the CA Virtual Assurance user interface for the first time, the browser displays an SSL certificate warning. The browser displays this warning when it connects to secure sites that do not have a signed SSL certificate. The SSL certificate must be created for the specific server and certificate authority and cannot be automatically generated and installed. When the warning appears, click OK to proceed.

2. Enter the user name and password that you have defined during the installation and click Log In.

   The product Dashboard appears.

CA Virtual Assurance can only display diagrams or charts if you installed the Flash Plug-in for your web browser. If the Flash Plug-in is not available, plug-in download links appear instead of diagrams or charts. By default, the Dashboard displays Systems Status, Utilization History, Services, CA Virtual Assurance Status, and Events. Configure the dashboard by dragging modules from the left pane to the right pane.
