After your nodes have successfully installed, verify that you can login to them via the site_admin account by referring to Section 4.2, "Logging in as site_admin". If you cannot login to them, check their consoles for error messages and contact PlanetLab Support for assistance if necessary.

Be aware that many of the long-running services on PlanetLab actively probe for new nodes, and that your nodes may see use almost immediately after they install. You may use a variety of monitoring and administrative tools to track the usage of your nodes, see Section 4, "Node Management".
