Changing the Network and System Settings of a Junos Space Virtual Appliance
You can change some basic options that you configured when you first installed and set up your Junos Space Virtual Appliance. You can also change the default system time and retrieve system log files from your Junos Space Virtual Appliance.
Each time you log in from the Junos Space system console, the Junos Space Settings Menu is displayed as follows:
Follow the system prompts from the menu to set or modify menu options. Password changes take effect immediately. Other configuration changes you make do not take effect until you apply the changes.
![]() | Note: An openNMS user does not have permission to modify the Junos Space Settings. |
To change a Junos Space Virtual Appliance configuration, you must be a user with administrative privileges and already logged in to the Junos Space Virtual Appliance. You can perform the following tasks from the Junos Space Settings Menu:
- Changing the admin User Password of a Junos Space Virtual Appliance
- Changing the Network Settings of a Junos Space Virtual Appliance
- Changing Time Options of a Junos Space Virtual Appliance
- Retrieving System Log Files from a Junos Space Virtual Appliance
- Expanding the Drive Size of a Junos Space Virtual Appliance
- Setting Security Options on a Junos Space Virtual Appliance
- Running Shell in a Junos Space Virtual Appliance
Changing the admin User Password of a Junos Space Virtual Appliance
You can change the admin user password used to log in to the Junos Space Network Management Platform.
To change the administrator password:
- At the Junos Space Settings Menu prompt, type 1.
The Change Password menu appears:
Change Password: 1> Change password for user admin A> Apply changes M> Return to Main Menu R> Redraw Menu Choice [1,AMR]:
- Type 1 at the command prompt.
You are prompted for confirmation.
Password changes will take effect immediately Change password for user admin? [y/N]
- Type y.
You are prompted for the current administrator password.
Changing password for user admin. Changing password for admin (current) UNIX password:
- Enter the current administrator password.
You are prompted to enter the new administrator password.
New UNIX password:
- Enter the new password.
You can choose a password that is at least eight characters long and contains characters from at least three of the following four character classes: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers (0 through 9), and special characters.
However, if a password satisfies the preceding criteria but contains only a single uppercase letter at the beginning or only a single number at the end, then that password is considered invalid. For example, Abcdwip9, Qc9rdiwt, and bRfjvin9 are invalid passwords, but AAbcdwip99, Qc9rdiwtQ, and bRfjvin99 are valid passwords.
Alternatively, instead of using a string of characters, you can choose a passphrase that is between 16 and 40 characters long and contains at least three dictionary words separated by at least one special character. For example, big#three;fork (14 characters long) and circlefaceglass (no special characters) are invalid passphrases, but @big#three;fork& and circle;face;glass are valid passphrases.
Passwords and passphrases are case-sensitive.
You are prompted to reenter the new password.
Retype new UNIX password:
- Retype the new password.
The administrator password is updated and a confirmation message appears followed by the Junos Space Settings Menu.

Change IP Address of Space Node: 1> Change VIP 2> Change Node Management Interface 3> Change Device Management Interface 4> Configure NAT A> Apply changes M> Return to Main Menu R> Redraw Menu Choice [1-4,AMR]:
Note: The NAT configuration option is displayed even if NAT settings are not specified during the initial configuration of the node. If the node is configured to be part of a Junos Space cluster, but is not yet added to the cluster from the Junos Space Platform UI, you can modify only the NAT configuration.
In that case, the following menu appears:
Change IP Address of Space Node: 1> Configure NAT A> Apply changes M> Return to Main Menu R> Redraw Menu Choice [1,AMR]:
- Depending on the menu options displayed, type 4 or 1, to modify the NAT
configuration.
Note: The NAT configuration must not be modified in combination with the other changes that require a reboot of the node. If the node is rebooted, the NAT configuration is discarded. In such cases, modify the settings that require a reboot, reboot the node and then modify the NAT configuration.

Configuring NAT: 1> Configure IPv4 2> Configure IPv6 3> Configure Both IPv4 and IPv6 A> Apply changes M> Return to Main Menu R> Redraw Menu Choice [1-3,AMR]:
Note: If you modify only the NAT IPv4 or IPv6 address of a virtual appliance configured to be part of a Junos Space cluster, but yet to be added to the cluster from the Junos Space Platform UI, the last specified IP address overwrites the IP address configured during initial configuration. For example, if the virtual appliance was initially configured with a NAT IPv4 address and while modifying the network settings, you specify an IPv6 address, then the IPv4 address is discarded and the IPv6 address is used for the NAT gateway. If both IPv4 and IPv6 are configured initially, then only the IP address that is modified is updated.

Expanding the Drive Size of a Junos Space Virtual Appliance
To increase the virtual machine (VM) drive size on a Junos Space Virtual Appliance, you must first add a disk resource to the VMware Infrastructure client to create a virtual disk. You must then initiate a scan of the new virtual disk. The Expand VM Drive Size option does not expand the drive size If you increase the size of any disk on the Virtual Appliance (for example, using the Edit menu of the vSphere Client). To expand the drive size, you must add disk resources to the host system.
The free space available in all the partitions should be monitored
periodically and the available disk space should be increased if required.
The /var
and /var/log
partitions should be monitored more frequently as most of the data
are stored in these partitions and the space utilization is high.
![]() | Note: You can expand the VM drive size of a Junos Space Virtual Appliance only when the Junos Space Virtual Appliance is powered on. |
To expand the VM drive size of a Junos Space Virtual Appliance:
- At the Junos Space Settings Menu prompt, type 6.
You are prompted to enter the password for the admin user.
Note: If no free space is available on the host for allocation, the No free disk space message appears and the Junos Space Settings Menu is displayed.
- Type ter the password for the admin user and press Enter.
The following caution appears and you are prompted to confirm that you want to continue expanding the VM drive size.

- Type y to continue with the
procedure or n to return to the Junos Space
Settings Menu.
If you type y, you are prompted to specify the partition that you want to expand.
Begin to stop Jboss and MySQL... Service Jboss and MySQL stopped Which partition do you want to expand? 1) / 2) /var 3) /var/log 4) /tmp 5) Quit Select a partition: 1
- Type the number present against the partition that you
want to expand; for example, type 1 to
expand the / partition or 5 to quit expanding disks and return to the Junos Space
Settings Menu.
The free space that can be allocated is displayed and you are prompted to enter the space that you want to allocate to the partition.
Current disk partition size of / is 22G Total 4.97G free disk space can be allocated How much additional disk space is to be added(Acceptable suffixes: M|G|T): 1M
- Type the additional disk space that you want to allocate
and press Enter.
You can enter the disk space in megabytes (M), gigabytes (G), or terabytes (T). Do not add a space between the number and the unit; for example, 50M and not 50 M, 10G and not 10 G, and so on.
You are prompted whether you want to expand more drives.
