New OMV 6 install not accepting default login

  • My new installation for OMV 6 went fine, then when I booted, the default login did not work!

    *** Root login works!***

    1. The install was done on Dell T420, in UEFI mode, to a SATA (on-board port) SSD samsung 850 drive.
    2. I am not linux fluent so answers must keep this in mind... but that's why I am using OMV for this newest install. I have two other boxes with OMV 4 that have been flawless for several years and I am preparing to upgrade the boxes to server quality hardware. There is an H710 card installed with a virtual array that exists.
    3. The install noted the array, and I selected the SSD for the operating system.
    4. I know that I will catch some flack here with the H710, so let me hear about that before I kill the project... I am ultimately planning to place the old drives onto the new server box...
    5. Is it the UEFI mode? If i resort to legacy bios mode, doesn't that limit the hard-drive capacity to 2GB?

    Any ideas why my default login does not work?

  • root login works only in the terminal shell

    Default login works only in the WebGUI.

    A backup strategy is worthless unless you have a verified to work by testing restore strategy.

  • For the WebGUI interface you have to connect with a web browser from another machine.

    Clear the browser cache. Ctrl+Shift+R several times in a row if necessary.

    Is it the UEFI mode?


    Legacy mode is preferable, it causes fewer problems. But if you already have it installed and it works... you know, don't fix something that works well.

    If i resort to legacy bios mode, doesn't that limit the hard-drive capacity to 2GB?

    No.

  • Thanks for your response chente. I was looking at a monitor on the server itself. It was the cli, and I tried to use the browser login, thinking that this would launch the browser interface. I was wrong. Everything is working fine ...
