Unlock the Device
Every time a Roving Edge device is booted, it boots into a locked state. You must unlock the device using an unlock passphrase to use the device.
The passphrase was created in one of the following ways:
-
When the device was self-provisioned on-site. See Provision a Device: Set Up Credentials.
-
On older Roving Edge Devices and Ultra Devices, the passphrase was created when the node was created in your tenancy. See Creating a Roving Edge Infrastructure Device 1 Node and Creating a Roving Edge Ultra Node.
Anytime you reboot the device, it reverts to a locked state. Receiving a Device is locked message after trying to connect to an API endpoint is indicative that the device is in a locked state. Unlock the device to proceed.
If your device is unexpectedly in a locked state, it might have accidentally rebooted. Check that your power connection is steady and not inadvertently causing device reboots.
-
In the serial console, select Unlock Device.
-
Enter the passphrase.
The device is unlocked, and the serial console menu is displayed.
