![]() ![]() ![]() What is wrong? Hmm, that is a good question, and I can only assume. Long story short: After 2,5 days (not kidding) trying diverse approaches, I had a chat with some colleagues and Toby had an idea: he said: “Just use the KB article provided by VMware right after the appliance has been deployed, reset the root password, and let us see if the install continues”.īelieve it or not, but that did the trick. The problem was, once the easy installer ran into its timeout, after 30-ish minutes, even using the known way getting into the appliance () and resetting the root password didn’t help, because the easy installer process was not able to continue und there was no retry button. At the end of the day, each single attempt ended with an epic-fail including a not correctly set root password. I tried many many times, without any success. Then I thought, the initial root password I’ve chosen is too simple or based on dictionary, and so on and so forth. OK, logged into the vSphere client, opened the console of the virtual appliance, typed in username root and the configured password, can’t login. SSH into the appliance was not possible, weird. Took me a couple of minutes and I was ready to SSH into the newly deployed vRA appliance to apply the fix and finish the deployment.Īs all of you know, I wouldn’t have written a blog article, if it would have been that simple. Nice, I started searching theInternet to find appropriate blog articles. Hmm, being honest, was kind of expected, because I had in mind that there was a problem with an expired root password of the vRO container inside vRA. OK, the starting point was a 100% defined, I download the easy installer from VMware, created all needed DNS entries, verified that NTP is working, mounted the ISO, started the installation process, filled out all the needed information and watched easy installer running into an epic fail. ![]() Recently, I had to install an older version of vRealize Automation, being more precisely, version 8.0.1, which is still downloadable from the Homepage of VMware and is officially still supported. ![]()
