I have a Single Server set up 1 Host with 4 Virtual Machines.
VMWare ESXi 6.0 v1 Essential
two Virtual Machines are Server 2012 R2
one Virtual Machine is Windows 8.1
And the last Virtual Machine is vCenter Appliance 6.0 v1
I found out that I can no longer get to the vCenter Web Client.
I get the following error in the browser when I do:
I logged onto the Vsphere Client and went to the vCenter Appliance and went to login through the console to root. The Password would not work.
I have not logged in as root to the vCenter Appliance for a long time and I saw mention in looking that up as Password expires after 90 days?
So now I am stuck and not sure what next move is without loosing data.
What do I tackle first and how do I proceed?
I was starting to get ready to upgrade to VMWare ESXi 6.7 Essential.
A lot going on here and just not sure which direction to go. Thank You!
I think the File System is corrupted.
I went for changing password through the bash and when I entered Password I got the following:
I found an article on Fixing File System I tried to issue the following bash commands.
mount -n -o remount,rw
After I ran this I got a bunch of lines that looked like the help file for Mount. It was too long and ran off the screen.
fsck -f -c -y
I then went to run this and it told me the File System was Mounted and active and not to so I answered no and stopped there.
How do I fix the File System?
We had a power outage last week. I could try and restore last backup of vCenter but it is several weeks old and not sure if corrupted with power outage or before that and If I made no changes to the system which I have not in a year is it ok to restore an older backup of vCenter?
Go to GRUB and run df -h and check if the root partition is at 100% . If yes ; clean up unwanted files .
Use du -shc * to cehck what is occupying space .
