Reset Password Foundry EdgeIron – Asset Recovery

VMware Virtual Machine Hosting

Foundry Models Covered: EIF24G, EIF4802CF, EIF48G, EIF24GS, EIF48GS, etc.

1) Establish a connection to the device on the console port

2) Power the switch on, while holding down ctrl-u to access the system file menu (technically you can just hit �ctrl-u� in the one second time between powering on and it actually loading, but its hard to time it)

3) you have a few seconds to type the password for the file menu, it is ‘mercury’; clear off the asteriks that may remain from holding ctrl-u down first.

4) select D to delete all user defined configurations

5) enter the file name of the file type that is �Config File� and confirm if asked to delete it

6) select Q to reload.

At this point it will boot normally, and the username and password for the unit will be at default, admin, and admin. Its back to default now, have fun. I have no idea why Foundry barely documents this process. Even the users manual doesn�t tell you the password to enter the ROM menu (‘mercury’), it sais to call tech support to get it.

VMWare convert thick to thin disk

If you have VMware vCenter – Click Migrate

For those of us who do not have VMware vCenter:

1. Shutdown the VM
2. SSH to the ESXi machine and type:

vmkfstools -i /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/NAME-OF-VM/NAME-OF-VM.vmdk /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/NAME-OF-VM/NAME-OF-VM-thin.vmdk -d ‘thin’ -a lsilogic

Once the copy is done, go into the settings of your VM, delete the hard disk, and add a new hard disk pointing to the “thin” vmdk you created. Boot your vm, if it all works then you can use the datastore browser to delete the thick vmdk and you are done.

How to clean a Hacked CentOS / LINUX Machine

yum install chkrootkit

Run chkrootkit to find INFECTED files

You will need to delete, manually, each of these files.

The permissions will be modified to stump the average user.

You will need to use: chattr

This command will free most files: chattr -suSadAc

For the ones that can not be deleted after the above, try: chattr -i

Files commonly targeted: top ps find netstat ifconfig

Once the files are deleted, reinstall the files using YUM:

yum reinstall procps openssh-server openssl psmisc findutils fileutils util-linux net-tools textutils sysklogd

Additional things:

1. sshd will be renamed to sshd0 in /usr/sbin/
2. the hacker has most likely added an entry to the bottom of: /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
———
# Xntps (NTPv3 daemon) startup..
/usr/sbin/xntps -q
———

Remove it: chattr -suSadAc xntps ; rm -f xntps

3. Re-run chkrootkit until the machine is clean

MASONITE FIBERGLASS DOORS SUCK

DO NOT EVEN THINK OF BUYING THESE CRAP DOORS.

I had 8′ Double doors installed on a new construction home.

Within 3 months the ACTIVE door warped. Literally folded inwards 2 inches.

The door was replaced 6 months later… Masonite did not honor the warranty! Contractor ate it.

Over the following year: all of the insert window moldings cracked or warped, the glass inserts had seal issues, T astrigal separated from inactive door, and the active door warped again.

Masonite’s response? “Well we will reimburse you $430 for the warped inactive door”. No coverage for moldings, seals, T astrigal, etc.

CRAP DOORS – CRAP WARRANTY – CRAP COMPANY!

DO NOT BUY MASONITE FIBERGLASS DOORS

SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY OR DEMAND YOUR CONTRACTOR/BUILDER USE HIGHER QUALITY DOORS.

MASONITE WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR CRAP AND THE DOORS ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT LAST.

UPDATE 1/11/2011 – My pool door, also a Masonite crap Fiberglass door is now warped. Warping to the outside over 1″. The amount of cold air it is letting in is lovely. DO NOT BUY MASONITE DOORS!
