Hi Everybody,
I am in a very situation here. We have a very old VMWare On-Prem system having hosting VMware 5.1. Now the problem is that the person who initially set it up never documented the master password and now I am in a phase of migrating my VMWare to a new network with a different hostname. Now, when I migrated my cluster master to the new network and spin up the VM. The services won't start because it does not match the server name. What i would like to know is:
1. Is there a way (official or non-official) to reset the master password?
2. What is the difference between an admin password and master password?
3. Can I update my certificates using admin password? I know this one. I am using the ssl-automation.bat tool
4. Will re-installing vmware fix the problem? If Yes, will it affect the current infrastructure? Will my VM's get deleted?
vspher log: ( xxxxxxxxx is my new hostname )
