First access
The rootconsole is accessible under the following URL: https://<joviandss_ip_address>:4200/rootconsole-d12/
It is also possible to access the root console without providing a URL. It is more convenient to use the Launch Pad menu.
Go to the Text User Interface (TUI) and go to Console tools (hotkey: ctrl-alt-T) -> Web services management -> Access settings -> Set launchpad as default GUI page. Make sure the option is marked as active:

Once the launch pad is enabled , go to your Open- E JovianDSS and you should see a launch Pad menu instead of the GUI view:

If the Launch Pad menu has not opened even though the option is active in the TUI, click the "Logout" button in the top-right corner of the Open-E JoivanDSS GUI.
- Clicking the cogwheel icon will take you to the Open-E JovianDSS GUI.
- Clicking the LXC icon will allow the administrator to manage your containers - see system usage, change Memory usage limit and check README files of installed containers, including the rootconsole. You can also use this menu to stop, restart or restore factory defaults settings of the container.
- Choosing the console icon will take you to the rootconsole menu.
The rootconsole prompt will ask you to provide the the login and password to the container. By default the credentials are:
login: admin
password: <your_GUI_password>
The password is updated every time the GUI administrator password is changed.
Most commands are available as bash aliases only after logging in as a root user. First run the sudo su command and provide your administrator password:
admin@JovianDSS:/$ sudo su
[sudo] password for admin:
Once logged in as the root user, run the alias command to see available bash aliases:
