I recently updated my home lab vCSA to 7.0u2. At that time I was able to log into the appliance with the root credentials without issue. Today, I wanted to check on the setup and had to reboot the appliance since I could not get to it in management (web page couldn't load). Post reboot of the appliance (via RVRC on the host running it) I cannot log in with the 'root' account. I've changed the password via the VMRC but that still fails.
Does anyone have the fix for this?
I did just log into the vCSA via putty and get this:
I did have an issue with the applmgmt service during the update process. Am I boned at this point with this install? Since I don't have any distributed switches, I could deploy a fresh instance of the vCSA if that's the best way to fix it. Just sucks donkey balls since it WAS working earlier. But, since it IS a home lab setup, it's not like I have critical items running on it at present. I'm more interested in making sure the one critical VM remains running (on one of my hosts).
-update- I used the putty session to restart the applmgmt service and I can now log in through port 5480. Is this a 'known bug' with 7u2?? Is it fixed with another patch/update? I'm going to see if there are any updates available for the appliance. If there are, I'll probably apply them.
Nope, no more updates above what I'm running. 😞
