Finalization

When the VM is created, open up the console. After the VM boots up, you should see a welcome screen. You can navigate the following screens with the arrow keys and the tab key.

You will be prompted to set a new root password for your server

Once that is complete, select the IP address associated with your server. If you use a NAT IP to a local IP, select your local IP.

Your new OPC should now be installed, and you should see a URL for the OPC web interface in the console window.
