Setting Up vRealize

Setting Credentials

I had to get on the Linux command line to set the credentials. I did the following:

  1. When you hit the grub menu, add init=/bin/bash to drop to a command line.
  2. Once you get to the command line run sudo passwd root and set that password.
  3. Run sudo passwd admin to reset the local admin account. Note: This is not the admin account you need to get to the web frontend.
  4. Run $VMWARE_PYTHON_BIN $VCOPS_BASE/../vmware-vcopssuite/utilities/sliceConfiguration/bin/vcopsSetAdminPassword.py --reset to reset the admin account for the web GUI. Note: Despite what the documentation says, the username is not admin@local, it is admin. There are also password complexity requirements.
