Where to manage VIO from the CLI

I have VIO 3.0 Compact mode deployed in a lab and I'm curious where I need to log in to look at logs or manage the Openstack deployment from the CLI. For instance, where do I look at logs when an instance deployment fails? From which machine do I upload images to Glance if I were to do so from the CLI?

I have the management-server VM in the VIO vApp and then the Compute-0 and ControlPlane-0 VMs in a resource pool.

I have the creds for the management-server but I don't think I have them for the Compute-0 or ControlPlane-0 VMs.

You will/can be looking at the logs on all nodes but to troubleshoot the Deploy issues you want to look on the management-server:

User: viouser

Pass: "whatever you set"

Look at /var/log/jarvis directory and find ansible.log and jarvis.log to start. Scroll through and see where there is an ERROR or FAILED task.

Depending on which ansible task failed, you would then look at the other logs.

 

For the control Plane, you can log in with root/vmware as is the default credentials.

A close aside to this topic is the location of logs. VMware has a KB here: https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=21252...
