You can now start your HQ server by running this command:

/home/hyperic/server-4.4.0/bin/hq-server.sh start

Note that the first time the HQ server starts up it may take several minutes
to initialize. Subsequent startups will be much faster.

Once the HQ server reports that it has successfully started, you can log in
to your HQ server at:

http://10.32.1.90:7080/
username: hqadmin
password: hqadmin

To change your password, log in to the HQ server, click the "Administration"
link, choose "List Users", then click on the "hqadmin" user.
