Since FQDN is not set, resulting in no root password
3. Re: What is photon-machine login?
you have installed the VCSA with IP address it seems. Please check the VC pnid.
run this command on VC.
/usr/lib/vmware-vmafd/bin/vmafd-cli get-pnid --server-name localhost
you need to provide root password to login. If you forgot the password, login to grub mode and reset the password.
Restart vcsa, the guide interface (GUI Photon) in the boot entry edit by e
In later added consoleblank = 0 RW the init = / bin / the bash, start the F10
After entering the command line, execute passwd -x 700 root, password is extended (chage -l root can see the expiration time, the 700 can write longer 2000, etc.)
The best way to perform passwd to modify the root password!
Run umount / and reboot -f
esxi host reboots caused vcsa page can not open, you can manually enter the console vcsa open vcsa services:
VCSA service restart command
Sphere Web Client interface services are:
vmware-mbcs
vmware-netdumper
vmware-rbd-watchdog
Run the command confirmation, first of all execute the command:
service-control --status vmware-mbcs
service-control --status vmware-netdumper
service-control --status vmware-rbd-watchdog
You can see the service in the Stopped state.
See above several services are at a standstill, then the next attempt to manually start them with the following command:
service-control --start vmware-rbd-watchdog vmware-netdumper vmware-mbcs
