Access the User Interface

Access the user interface to discover and provision virtual and physical systems, to create policy, to schedule jobs, and so on. The Start menu shortcut is only available on the CA Virtual Assurance server. You must access the manager server directly, and use the Start menu to use some product functions such as the CLI and Autoshell. Users accessing the interface from a separate server must enter the URL in a web browser.

   port
