"Failed to switch to root user." is displayed on the Configure Host page.
- Possible cause: The entered management IP address of
the host is incorrect. For example, the host baseboard management
controller (BMC) IP address is mistakenly entered as the host management
IP address.
- Solution: Check whether you can use PuTTY to log in
to the host through the entered IP address as user gandalf. If the login
fails, the entered IP address is not the host management IP address.
Enter the correct host management IP address on the wizard.
- Possible cause: IP addresses in the environment conflict.
- Solution: Remotely log in to the host using the host
BMC and run the ifconfig ethX down command to stop the host NIC. On the
local PC, ping the host management IP address. If the IP address can be
pinged, IP addresses in the environment conflict. Change the host
management IP address or the existing IP address that conflicts with the
host management IP address.
- Possible cause: The host OS is not from the FusionCompute Computing Node Agent (CNA) software package.
- Solution: Log in to the host OS and run the service
vnad status command to check whether the vnad service exists in the
system. If not, the host OS is not the FusionCompute CNA. Reinstall the
host OS.
- Possible cause: The wizard was installed from a network path.
- Solution: Start the wizard on the local PC.
