I am running 20.9.4.1 in my lab and I know I can rebuild everything, but I came across a quirk and want to get more information/guidance.
I have a simple setup, with a single vManage, vSmart, vBond with three vEdges. I got everything stood up and saw that the controllers can be placed into vManaged-mode, so I went ahead and configured a device template for all the controllers and place them into vManage mode.
When I attempted to sign back into vManage, my password was reset to the "default password" and when I put the password in, it asked me to change it. However, if I try to change the password, I get an error saying "User operation not allowed in vManage mode. Verify device attachments for all nodes in the cluster. While in vmanage-mode, password can be changed only through device template".
Now, I figured out how to temporarily disable vmanage-mode:
Personality: vmanage
Model name: vmanage
Services: None
vManaged: false
Commit pending: false
Configuration template: vManage-Template-v1
Chassis serial number: None
But restarting nms, causes it to be back into vManage mode (probably due to the configuration-db).
My question "Is there a way to force the vManage device from not being managed by itself?"
I believe the issue was caused due to the AAA being the factory template instead of configuring the admin user in the template, so I think I know if I rebuild it, I can correct it, but I am looking to see if I can save the time for all the rebuild. No backups were taken, so that will be the other thing I will do in the rebuild.
Any help would be appreciated.
