Salt -- cheat sheet

     The Salt system is a Python-based open-source remote execution framework for
configuration management, automation, provisioning and orchestration. A basic Salt
implementation consists of a Salt master managing one or more Salt minions.
Salt master:
A server running the salt-master service is a Salt master. The master provides a cohesive
platform for orchestration and automation between managed systems.
Salt minion:
A Salt minion is any system or device managed by Salt. A minion can either run the
salt-minion service or be agent less using salt-ssh or salt-proxy. A minion running the
service may execute commands without a master in stand-alone mode.
Salt proxy:
A Salt Proxy is used to execute commands on devices that are unable to run the minion
service. The proxy minion receives commands from a master, translates and transmits the
commands appropriate to the method of connection to the underlying device
(SSH, REST, etc.), and relays the results back to the master.
Salt SSH:
The Salt SSH system was added as an alternative means to communicate with minions.
It does not require that a minion be present on the target system, only that the
SSH service is running and port 22 is open.

Reset root pass in ESXi 5.5

    In this post i will show how to reset root password in ESXi 5.5. For this first we need any bootable linux distributor. In my example i used Ubuntu 16.04.     Boot from Ubuntu disk. Select try Ubuntu, wait for loading. After full loading open Terminal. Type fdisk -l for list all partitions hypervisor/system image is located on the first 250 MB partition (/dev/sda5) which contains the state.tgz file. Mount /dev/sda5 to /mnt sudo -s mount /dev/sda5 /mnt. Go to the /mnt cd /mnt . Copy state.tgz to /tmp folder cp state.tgz /tmp , cd /tmp. Unarchive state.tgz tar xzf state.tgz then   tar xzf local.tgz Go to the /etc directory in /tmp folder  cd etc/ . For deleting resetting password open shadow file with nano shadow  delete the password hash of ESXi root account. Close nano editor. Re add etc/ folder to local.tgz : tar czf local.tgz etc after it readd local.tgz to state.tgz: tar czf state.tgz local.tgz . Copy state.tgz mnt/ folder: cp state.tgz /mnt/ . umount /mnt
