Has anyone tried running EFA on Amazon AWS? Ive imported the VM serveral times with no luck. I am never able to access the AWS vm with putty. Just curious if anyone has been successful, thanks!

I was able to get the appliance to boot on AWS by importing the VHD file and adding it to an instance. I am not however able to connect to the console via putty. It will not accept the default password via putty (SSH). I can only login through the console but this obviously is not available on AWS. Any help would be appreciated!

UPDATE:

I think I found my answer....

*bump*

A few problems

1) ssh is disabled until EFA-Init runs (console only because of unsecure password)

2) EFA-Init interactively runs upon first login

I wonder if you can work around this by doing the following...

1) Install EFA locally
2) Exit EFA-Init in console (choose no)
3) Set the password for the root user (passwd)
4) Modify /etc/ssh/sshd_config to allow root login (PermitRootLogin yes)
5) Enable ssh (chkconfig ssh on)
6) Prepare the interface for import (rm -f /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules)
7) Shutdown the VM...export the VHD and import into Amazon
8) Boot up, connect, and continue setup
