Hyper-V FLR Web UI
Heya,
maybe someone has a tip for me on this.
I setup a test environment to get more familiar with NetWorker and Hyper-V.
Since it's a test environment I'm playing around with the latest versions.
Backup-Server: CentOS 7.6
NetWorker 18.2.0.0 downgraded to 18.1.0.2 - It seems that 18.2 on Linux does NOT bring the Hyper-V FLR Web GUI. The Windows version has it, though. I sent this to my Dell EMC contacts so that they can verify this.
Because of that I downgraded to 18.1.0.2 where the GUI at least appears.
Hyper-V: Windows 2016 with 2 VMs. One VM with Windows 2016, the other with CentOS 7.6
NetWorker & NMM 18.2.0.0
No firewalls. I also disabled the CentOS & Windows Firewalls.
lgtoadpt.rpm has also been installed on the backup server.
Backups are working fine. Restores via NMM (GLR & Image) are also working fine.
But GLR restores do not allow a recovery of single files directly into the target VM. That's where the web-based UI comes into play.
Now according to the NMM Hyper-V documentation this should be quite simple:
Open a browser, go to http://backupserver:10000, login, select what you want and restore.
I'm stuck at the login part. I'm using the administrator account which I also use to login to NMC.
When I provide wrong credentials it immediately tells me so.
When I provide correct credentials it says "Logging In" for quite some time.
And then it goes back to the login screen and there's a red exclamation mark at the bottom of the page - but no other information or an error message. Mouse-over or clicking the exclamation mark doesn't bring up anything.
I tested this with various browsers (Edge, Firefox, Internet Explorer) and from various PCs (Open website on backup server itself, My own PC, Hyper-V Host, Hyper-V Guest). Same result everywhere.
The only log I could find on the backup server is the localhost_access_log..2019-01-04.txt in /nsr/authc/logs .
This log is updated whenever I try a login. I can see that it sends HTTP code 201 - which basically should be fine.
No entries in daemon.log or other logfiles I could find.
127.0.0.1 - - [04/Jan/2019:14:06:17 +0100] "POST /auth-server/api/sec/authenticate HTTP/1.1" 201 11532
Using netstat -anv on both the machine where I opened the browser and on the backup server I can see that the connection has been established.
Backup Server (VERBUNDEN means ESTABLISHED - it's German):
[root@xxx logs]# netstat -anv|grep 11000
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:11000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 x.x.x.x:11000 x.x.x.x:56673 VERBUNDEN

[root@xxx]#
Hyper-V Host:
C:\Users\Administrator>netstat -anv|findstr 11000
TCP x.x.x.x:56673 x.x.x.x:11000 ESTABLISHED
Does anyone have an idea what's causing the non-working login? Or where I could find additional logs which may give some more info?
Thanks!
