  • This problem is specific to VT800_128 deployed on Azure. Note that VT800 works fine.
  • User will not be able to find the talariuser password that will allow them to log in to the UI. This Auto-generated Password is expected to be in "Boot diagnostics -> Serial Log", but due to this bug it will not be there.

There are two work-arounds to this problem.

  1. As ssh login should be configured, so you can log in via ssh and issue this command to find the password:
talariuser@Talari-:~# dmesg |grep talariuser 
[ 32.323749] dhclient-exit-hook: Configuring default talariuser password.
[ 32.831851] dhclient-exit-hook: Configuring talariuser password to: talari-01cf3f56
[ 33.129197] dhclient-exit-hook: Disabling ssh password access to talariuser.
  1. Alternatively, one can reset the talariuser password through the Azure UI. The "Reset Password" menu item is available under the VM's "Support + troubleshooting" Section.
