SFTP password change: SDDC and NSX-T Managers

While using the backup script to protect VCF components, you might want to change the password of the external SFTP server account associated with the SDDC and NSX-T Managers.

1. From a PowerProtect Data Manager command line, type the following two commands:

   cd /usr/local/brs/lib/sysmgr/bin

   ./ppdm-vcf-component-protection.sh
2. Enter credentials for the PowerProtect Data Manager server.
3. Enter the IP address or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the SDDC Manager server, and then enter credentials for the SDDC Manager server.
4. From the backup-script main menu, enter 3, and then 1.
5. Confirm if you want to change the password of the external SFTP server account.
   • Enter y to change the password, and then perform the following actions:
     1. Enter the new password.
     2. Enter y to confirm if the automatically generated SSH fingerprint should be used. Otherwise, enter n to provide your own SSH fingerprint.
   • Enter n to skip the password change.
