Managing Virtuozzo Storage
==========================

To start managing Virtuozzo Storage, log in to the management panel at its IP address on port 8888 as admin (or superadmin) and make sure that storage nodes are shown on the **NODES** screen.

The first step to perform, before you can create any clusters, is to create the internal and public networks required by Virtuozzo Storage. You can do that by configuring the network interfaces of all nodes. Having created the networks, you can proceed to creating Virtuozzo Storage clusters.
