  6. Make sure that the appropriate network interface is selected in both Management Panel network and Management network drop-down lists.

  7. Create a password for a superadmin account of the management panel, confirm it in the corresponding field, and memorize it.

  8. Click Done and Begin Installation. While Acronis Storage is installing, create a password for the root account. Installation will not finish until the password is created.

Once the installation is complete, the node will reboot automatically and you will see a welcome prompt with the address at which you can log in to the Acronis Storage management panel. For example:
