Cannot access adminui

adminui has been given the IP 10.88.88.4. However, I’m unable to access the site. It doesn’t appear that I even have connectivity to that IP.

Running Coal on VMware Workstation. Host OS is Ubuntu 22.04.

That’s setup on your coal’s “admin” network. Does your host OS happen to have a NIC on the “admin” network? On my Mac, the “admin” network has a NIC, but I might need to configure an address on that NIC (e.g. in your case something from 10.88.88.0/24). Check your VMware workstation settings for the Coal to see what NIC it’s using.

Dan, thanks for reaching out. I appreciate your help.

My host os does indeed have an IP on the admin network. I can ssh to the host but cannot to connect to the adminui.

I’m assuming “the host” has a 10.88.88.0/24 address you’re ssh-ing into? IF NOT or IF SOMETHING ELSE, you might actually only be able to reach the “external” network.

zlogin to the adminui zone and see with “ipadm” and “netstat -rnc” have to say. Same two commands on the global-zone as well, for reference.

I’m able to ssh in on 10.88.88.200.

I’ll give zlogin a try and report back.

@ryaeng One of the first things to do after installing Triton is to run sdcadm post-setup common-external-nics, this will add an external IP to adminui, and you should be able to use that to access it.

@brian.bennet That command is listed in the Coal setup and has been ran.

Here’s the ipadm & netstat commands from the global-zone.

This is from the adminui zone.

So… it’s working now. Puzzled to say the least.

Ok, good, so in that case you’ll want to use https://10.88.88.4/ to access adminui.
