| How do I obtain ZCenter Management Platform? |
Deploy ZStack ZSphere first, then upload the ZCenter installation package in ZSphere “Platform Services → Service List” to complete Unified Deployment (see 1.1) |
| Which account do I use for the first login? |
Default username admin, initial password password; change it immediately after logging in |
| Do I need to install/upload a license? |
No. After Unified Deployment from ZSphere, the platform comes with a permanent ZCenter Standard Edition license and works out of the box |
| Why do I still need to log in when going from ZCenter to ZSphere? |
Passwordless redirect requires a user with the same username and the same authentication source on both sides; otherwise you need to log in to ZSphere manually |
| Is passwordless redirect bidirectional? |
No. This version supports only the one-way ZCenter → ZSphere direction |
| Adding a ZSphere management node fails to connect |
Check whether the access IP, username, password, and other fields are correct and whether the network is reachable |
| Resources of an environment are missing from the Inventory |
Confirm that the environment has been added as a management node and its data synchronization is complete |
| Why does adding an environment to the license pool fail? |
① The environment is not ZSphere or is in an abnormal state; ② the main license type does not match the license pool, or the available quota is less than the environment’s used quota |
| How long do I have to wait before removing a disconnected environment? |
No wait is needed; it can be removed directly at any time (a confirmation dialog appears, and the quota is reclaimed) |
| When is the quota reclaimed after removing an environment? |
Immediately; the “available” value in the overview increases accordingly |
| Who receives the alarms? |
On the management platform, alarms are delivered to all administrators by default; when adding a subscription, only the monitored objects need to be specified |
