[gpfsug-discuss] reinstalled gpfs gui but no admin user created

[Philipp Rehs]

Hello,

today our gpfs gui crashed because of a broken hard drive and i needed
to reinstall the node. It is a legacy system still at 4.2.3.24

After the installation the gui is stuck at "Loading" and in the logs i
see the following errors:

For me it looks like it is related to this thread but it has no solution.

http://www.spectrumscale.org/pipermail/gpfsug-discuss/2017-December/004319.html

I already tried to install older versions of the gui but it did not help.

Is it possible to remove all old configurations even from ccr?

Kind regards
 Philipp
