I'm running into this same issue. I was able to figure out how to change the IP address by running this command:
sudo vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
Press i to "insert"
Change BOOTPROTO=dhcp to static instead of dhcp
Add the following lines:
IPADDR=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
NETMASK=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
GATEWAY=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
Save the file by entering :wq!
Reboot the appliance (you can probably restart the network daemon too).
I tried updating the /etc/resolve.conf to add my name resolution servers, but even after adding, name resolotion does not work.
As far as changing the password, I have not been able to do that. In the documentation it says you would be prompted, but I was not prompted to change the password. I tried changing it with the the following command but it doesn't seem to work either: splunk edit user admin -password 'newpassword' -role admin -auth admin:changeme
I'm subscribing to this thread in the hopes someone can shed some light for us.
