[BlueOnyx:06731] Re: new build ISO shell based network issues?

[Roy Urick]

I followed all steps as you indicated were proper. The problem was during the move from my office to our colo facility when I would use the legacy setup utility. My bad. 

Now that I know to use the proper script I think I’ll be OK.  Just to clarify if I wanted to use the correct shell config script I would kick off “/root/network_settings.sh”? 

 

Thanks again for your hard work!

 

Also check your customer service email. I asked a question via your web form (https://www.solarspeed.net/contact-form.php) a day or two ago and haven’t heard anything back.

Hi Roy,

I'm sorry to say it, but then you didn't follow the usual procedures:

1.) Install from the iso and reboot.

2.) At the login prompt and before login it tells you to login as "root" with password "blueonyx".

3.) Once you logged in that way, the interactive setup starts and will guide you through the network setup.

You probably bypassed this procedure by logging in as "admin" and then fiddled around with legacy tools such as "setup", which is not the supported way of doing things.

If you bypass the interactive setup built into BlueOnyx (it gets executed the first time you log in as "root"), then all bets are off. This interactive setup does a lot more than to configure the network settings, as it also restarts services and populates CCE with some important information.

So if you detour from that path, then quite a few things won't work as intended.

It is there for a reason, which is also true for quite a few other system tools which rarely get used.
