Hi, today I installed 8.102 on our HP DL145 with a new hard drive, and upon first boot, stuck in a USB key with a backup from another 8.102 system.
It restored the backup successfully.
However, I was not able to log into the console, I tried both the 'root' and 'loginuser' accounts, with both blank passwords and the passwords from the imported configuration.
I had a strong desire to log in as all the NICs were re-numbered as I was running v6 on the HP DL145 previously, so it was time consuming to figure out which NIC was EXT (there are 6 NICs in this server).
My previous experience/understanding has been:
1. root password is '' after a clean install
2. shell passwords are not stored in the backup files
So, I do not understand why I wouldn't have been able to login.
If the shell passwords ARE stored, I still should have been able to login with the previous password.
I eventually figured out the NICs, and got into web admin, and put in new passwords and everything worked, but I'd like to know for future reference what the expected behavior should be.
