Problem: Unable to connect to the management GUI

If you are unable to connect to the management GUI from your web browser and received a Page not found or similar error, this information might help you resolve the issue.

If you are unable to connect to the management GUI from your web browser and received a Certificate expired or similar error, see Resolving a problem with SSL certificates.

If you are unable to connect to the management GUI from your web browser and received a cipher error, SSL error, TLS error, or handshake error or similar error, see Resolving a problem with SSL/TLS clients.

Consider the following possibilities if you are unable to connect to the management GUI:
  • You cannot connect if the system is not operational with at least one node online. If you know the service address of a node canister, either use the service assistant to verify that the state of at least one node canister is active, or if the node canister is not active, use the LEDs to see if any node canister state is active. If there is not a node canister with a state of active, resolve the reason why it is not in active state. If the state of all node canisters is candidate, then there is not a clustered system to connect to. If the node state is service, see the topic that contains information about fixing node errors.
  • Ensure that you are using the correct system IP address. If you know the service address of a node canister, use the service assistant to gather information about the node canister and the clustered system. You can also use the USB flash drive to obtain the system IP address from the data that is returned.
  • Ensure that all node canisters have an Ethernet cable that is connected to port 1 and that the port is working. Use the Ethernet LEDs to understand the port status.
  • Ping the management address to see if the Ethernet network permits the connection. If the ping fails, check the Ethernet network configuration to see if there is a routing or a firewall issue. Ensure that the Ethernet network configuration is compatible with the gateway and subnet or prefix settings. Ensure that you have not used the Ethernet address of another device as the management address. If necessary, modify your network settings to establish a connection.
  • If the system has management IP addresses assigned to both port 1 and port 2 it is possible that these are connected to independent Ethernet networks. Ensure the address you are using is accessible from the network port to which your management workstation is connected. Try using the alternative management IP address.
