After a very long time of initialization I finally have the login page ready but I dont have the password.

The system didn't ask to set a password during the deployment or after.

I am able to login to HiveManager Virtual Appliance Management System on port 3000 with default credentials.

The system consumes a LOT of CPU/RAM/diskIOps ressources, I wonder why...

How can I set the password?

Thanks a lot.

According to https://docs.aerohive.com/330000/docs/help/english/ng/Content/reference/guides/qsg-virtual-appliance.htm the username password is admin / aerohive

"The system consumes a LOT of CPU/RAM/diskIOps ressources"

I noticed that as well, it seems to use a lot more compute than "HiveManager Classic", even with no access points connected to it. Bad engineering? Too much dependency on Java on the backend? I'm sure they say would it's because of all of the "wonderful features and improvements". If there cloud product performs the same that means that they are probably paying Amazon for a lot more compute power  . Costs that would be past down to the consumers.

Yes, maybe the elasticsearch service is using a lot of CPU and read access on disk..

The admin account is for the Appliance Management, I am searching for the Hivemanager password, I didn't set any password during deployment.

As I can't use the 19.5.1.7, I think I will revert to the old one..

Hi,

I uprgaded the VM from 16GB to 24GB (up to 2000 AP configuration ! ) of RAM, the VA is mutch more responsive and doesn't use a lot of disk IO now.

Looks like the VA consumes a LOT of RAM and act weird when it has not enough to run the 4 tomcats servers + elasticsearch + RabitMQ, etc...

After upgrading the RAM, I was able to log in and set the password (I had false auth errors due to lack of memory apparently).

So if you have wery slow and high CPU/Disk consumption, just choose the up to 2000 AP configuration requirement on the memory side (4 vCPU is enough), even if you have a few APs...

I hope Aerohive will work on memory optimization for the next release 😉

All that I/O is from disk swapping due to insufficient memory. The minimum recommended is 24MGs for up to 500 APs and 32MGs for up to 5000 APs. Your still under the recommended value for a deployment of your size. If you can afford to give it more than 32MGs it wouldn't hurt, Linux would use that extra memory as cache.

Thanks
