Getting into the configuration screen of the VCSA

[CraigV75]

Good morning,

When logging into the VCSA I get to a black screen with a localhost login. How do I get back to the standard blue screen used by the VCSA in order to configure networking etc?

Thanks!

You should use a web browser to port 5480 on your vCenter server. If your vCenter Server is named vcenter1, open the URL: https://vcenter1:5480/

Hi,

Thanks, I know I can get to this but the issue is logging onto the console. When I did so yesterday I got to the normal VCSA splash screen (blue/grey). Now all I get is a black command line interface.

Thanks!

You can use ALT-F2 to go to the VCSA splash screen and ALT-F1 to return to the normal console.

Brilliant, that's exactly it! You've also answered another question I've been wondering about on how to get to the command line from the console login.

Appreciate it!

Cheers,

Craig
