vcsa或photon-machine无root密码 vcenter无法打开 问题记录
由于未设置 FQDN，导致无root密码
3. Re: What is photon-machine login?
you have installed the VCSA with IP address it seems. Please check the VC pnid.
run this command on VC.
/usr/lib/vmware-vmafd/bin/vmafd-cli get-pnid --server-name localhost
you need to provide root password to login. If you forgot the password, login to grub mode and reset the password.
重启vcsa，在引导界面（photon的图形界面）里按e编辑启动项
在consoleblank=0 后面添加rw init=/bin/bash，F10启动
进入命令行后，执行passwd -x 700 root，将密码有效期延长(chage -l root可查看到期时间，可把700写出2000等更长）
最好顺便执行passwd修改root密码！
运行umount / 和reboot -f
esxi主机异常重启造成vcsa网页无法打开，可进入vcsa控制台手动开启vcsa服务：
VCSA服务重启命令
Sphere Web Client界面的服务分别是：
vmware-mbcs
vmware-netdumper
vmware-rbd-watchdog
分别执行命令确认，首先执行命令：
service-control --status vmware-mbcs
service-control --status vmware-netdumper
service-control --status vmware-rbd-watchdog
可以看到服务处于Stopped状态。
看到上述几个服务都处于停止状态，那么，接下来尝试手动启动它们，命令如下：
service-control --start vmware-rbd-watchdog vmware-netdumper vmware-mbcs
