I wanted to update my skyline appliance from 2.1.0 to 2.3.0. I thought I had previously configured auto-update but it doesn't seem to be working because I notice my skyline vm several versions behind latest. Turns out I'm unable to login to my skyline 2.1.0 install as root to initiate the upgrade. I suspect the root password expired.
I was able to reset the admin password via the webpage.
I tried to reset the root passwd via editing photon boot settings. It looked like it reset properly, but I still can't get in to :5480 page even after changing root passwd more than once.
I went in to the regular https page (not :5480) as admin and stopped my VROPS collector and my vCenter collector. I then powered off the 2.1.0 vm and deleted from disk. I deployed the 2.3.0 vm from OVA.
After getting the new skyline setup and registered, I noticed my old/previous skyline vm still listed as Partially Healthy on the https://skyline.vmware.com/advisor/collectors page. (don't see how it is partially healthy as the VM has been deleted from disk) The deregister link is gray and it says I can only deregister a collector in the Inactive state.
How/when does a collector get marked as inactive? Will it happen automatically? (it's been an hour since I deleted the old collector)
