Virtual VNXe (vvnx) Default passwords in the install document does not work
The initial GUI that comes up wants to use the service account, not admin and the password listed in the install document does not work with either admin or service.
This a known issue with the service gui currently. We are fixing. Data collect works from the console itself. This will seems a little tricky, but this should allow you to collect the logs from the console and then download them from the service gui.
1. Login to the console with the same service/service ( name/password ) defaults.
2. First can we make sure the system CPUcurrent enough? Can you run this command? It should say sse4_2 somewhere on that output or the physical ESX server hardware is too old to run. If too old, you will need a newer machine.
3. Secondly I would like to verify that your pci devices are in the correct place. If you run "lscpi -nn" you should see this list at the end of that output. Can you verify that your system matches this? If this does not match, then did you change any of the settings of the VM before you powered on?
4. Lastly, if not the cpu version issue and you are not missing any controllers, you can run svc_dc manually from the console command prompt and that will create the same logs as the gui would.
5. Log back in to the GUI and attempt the service action again to get the collects. A popup should tell you that the system found a previous collect gathered. That should be the one you just did manually.
It sounds like the vVNX is in service mode. Did you make any changes to the VM settings before powering it on? Make sure you give the VM about 45 minutes to boot up fully before any actions such as adding vDisks.
That is what is causing this issue. Please don't add any virtual disks to the VM until it has fully booted. You can verify that it's ready when Unisphere loads when you navigate to the IP address. Can you try that and let me know if it resolved the issue? Thanks!
Can you let me know what hardware you're running this on?
Also, if it's forcing you to login with the service user, the default password should be "service". If you can get in with that, can you gather the logs so we can take a look? Thanks!
Your cpu flags are missing the sse4_2 support flag. Our FAQ guide mentions that the cpu type of the underlying ESX server has to support this feature set. You need to use an ESX server with a more current chipset.
