all,
hello!when i unrar the file 'openQRM3.1.rar',
I can extract file 'openQRM3.1/openQRM3.1-0.vmdk' and
file 'openQRM3.1/openQRM3.1.vmdk'.The error messages
are as follow,
openQRM3.1/openQRM3.1-0.vmdk - CRC failed
openQRM3.1/openQRM3.1.vmdk - CRC failed
I am wondering what's wrong.Does anyone encounter the
same situation.Is the tar file itself corrupted?
:) thanks!

If yes, please try again downloading it.

Please provide the login accounts of the centos gui in the server vm. Qrm/qrm seems not work.
Thank you.

Hi Mosquite,

the default admin account for the openQRM-server GUI is
User : qrm
Pass : qrm
(both in non-capital characters)

btw: please make sure to change it after login via the User-management Menu.

many thanks all the best,

Matt

I'm trying with qrm / qrm ,but it doesn't work..

April 27, 2007

Matt R. said:

Hi Marcello,

mhmm, strange, this is the default user/pass after installation.
No complaints about a login problem yet for the virtual appliance
and as i tested it it works well for me.
Anyway to progress with your trouble i would like to suggest to quick
re-install openQRM on the appliance. To do this please run the following :

cd /opt/qrm
./qrm-installer -u
./qrm-installer -i -c --defaults

This should reset the admin password in the openQRM-server and allow
you to login with qrm/qrm.

I would also recommend to remove the browser cache cookies for
the openQRM-server.

thanks greetz,

Matt

Marcello Torriani said:

I wasn't clear..
I mean: I don't succed in login to the virtual appliance.
I've used qrm/qrm, but perhaps I have to use root (?).. but I don't know the password.
If I cannot login, I cannot do anything else.
may you help me?

April 27, 2007

Matt R. said:

Hi again Marcello,

the virtual appliance system password is :

user = root
password = sysadmin

-> please see
http://tarrysingh.blogspot.com/2007/01/openqrm-virtual-appliance-manage-your.html

hope it helps and all the best,

The accurate support, and the honest will to help in case of difficulties is convincing enough to consider using the app.

Not to diminish the user inwardly, that is the way to build success. Many corporations forgot, and wonder their exposure to critics.
Wish your company and Mr. Matt a successful future.
Keep up the good work.

I have downloaded and installed the appliance.

I have run through the config using qrm-install.

When qrm starts I get the following message:

Starting the Qrm-server ERROR: Interface eth0 has the wrong ip-configuration.
The Qrm-server is configured to have the ip-address 192.168.1.100
but the interface eth0 is running with the ip-address 192.1.1.27
[FAILED]

How do I change the configured address to the one I want to use ?

Thanks

Matt R. said:

Hi Andrew,

you get this error because your eth0 has a diffrent ip-address
than openQRM was configured with. This can happen when you have
a dynamic ip-address for the openQRM-server interface.
-> It is recommended to use a static ip-address for the openQRM-server.

To fix this you can either uninstalling and then re-installing openQRM
or you will need to adapt the following files to the new ip-address :
/opt/qrm/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/* -> all pxe files are containing
the parameter "qrm=[ip-address]". Please set the to the new ip.
/opt/qrm/plugins/dhcpd/etc/dhcpd.conf -> Please set the "next-server"
parameter in the dhcpd.conf to the new ip.
Then restart the openQRM-server.

hope it helps, stay tuned !

many thanks have a great day,

Matt

Hi,
I just had the same problem with the server ip adress
(finally come to test the server we set up at the workshop, matt).

I think it's a little bit strange that te server ip setting is hidden like that - I'd expect that, after running qrm-configurator script, all places were an ip is hardcoded should be set correctly.
Uninstalling and re-installing seems a very strange way to changing an ip address, and having to dig in the tftp setting is not very, hmm, obvious - it took me many tries, until I gave up and asked google - to find the solution here.

So, good that I found the solution here, but a point where the ussability of the product should improve, I think.

(you'll hear from me in the next dayswhile testing qrm again :) )

I ran into all of the same issues as others here -
- when bringing up vm appliance since the HW config is not identical it will detect a dropped nic and try to configure a new nic - configure this nic with the settings:
Network address: 192.168.1.100
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Network Broadcast address: 192.168.1.255
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
DNS: 192.168.1.1

with these configs everythings starts up find and there is no unruly digging necassary. It would be nice to see an official doc from openqrm that states how/where/when to change the IP or host name of the openqrm server (does exist yet?)
For me...The default appliance is to start the default virtual environments. This is upsetting. I've bumped the ram on node1 and node2 but nothing positive happened.

any ideas?

thanks,
bk
