Dear All,
I need urgent help to restore my Checkpoint Management Server GAIA Admin user password an R77.30. I summarize all things what I know and how is build up the environment.
So we have two FW box in cluster and we have two Management server also in cluster. These Management servers are Multi-Domain systems and running two physical HPE Proliant DL380 G8 systems. Pretty old. For primary I have iLO access for secondary there is no connection to iLO because of EEPROM issue.
In Domain Manager Console I see both mgmt server and defined domains. Secondary server is at the moment lost connect from Domain Mgmt Console, root cause certification expired and no SIC connection to the server. I couldn't rejoin system to Console (generate new CERT and OTP password) why? Because my ancestor forgot to document Mgmt server Web and SSH admin user and pass. I think build in user admin active but no information about the password.
Here come my problem how can I set back an a HPE physical machine the admin user password. I found this article:
https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk91380
I tried it in a test environment VMware platform an virtual machines it works, but an physical machine (Secondary mgmt server) didn't.
Generated live Ubuntu and boot from USB stick start the method. I got following error message during point 5. mount /dev/mapper/vg_splat-lv_current /mnt/cp
Error opening cmdline file: /proc/7720/cmdline
cp_set_process_vs_affinity
We do not have CheckPoint support contract so I can not open case for vendor.
Please help me and if possible give me hint how can I proceed this password restoration procedure.
I can not reinstall environment if I do not have database backup usw.
Ps: I deleted IPs from my picture.
