Appliance Drama

Attempted 6.5 to 6.7 update.  Things went off the rails after the root password had expired.  (It is a test environment.)

After "fixing" this the appliance started acting flaky and then won't login to the shell.  DCUI login works fine and the appliance management login is ok, but it shows that the status is unknown for all health checks.  Since it isn't sitting on top of windows I can't get in to see the OS anymore.

So.....since it was test we don't do backups of it and the upgrade process can't talk to the original appliance to pull the settings.

So much for that.  The "upgrade" appliance is now the new appliance. What a PITA.
