Updating passwords for PowerFlex gateway components

You can update the passwords for one or more PowerFlex gateway components from PowerFlex Manager.

Steps

  1. On the menu bar, click Resources.
  2. On the All Resources tab, select one or more PowerFlex gateway components for which you want to change the passwords.
  3. Click Update Password.
    PowerFlex Manager displays the Update Password wizard.
  4. On the Select Components page, select PowerFlex Password.
  5. Click Next.
  6. On the Select Credentials page, create a credential with a new password or change to a different credential.
    1. Open the PowerFlex object under the Type column to see details about each gateway you selected on the Resources page.
    2. To create a credential that has the new password, click the plus sign (+) under the Credentials column.

      Specify the Credential Name, as well as the Gateway Admin User Name and Gateway OS User Name for which you want to change passwords. Enter the new passwords for both users and confirm these passwords.

    3. To modify the credential, click the pencil icon for one of the nodes under the Credentials column and select a different credential.
    4. Click Save.
  7. Click Finish.
  8. Click Yes to confirm.

Results

PowerFlex Manager starts a new job for the password update operation, and a separate job for the device inventory. If PowerFlex Manager is managing a cluster for any of the selected PowerFlex gateway components, it updates the credentials for the Gateway Admin User and Gateway OS User, as well as any related credentials, such as the LIA and lockbox credentials. If PowerFlex Manager is not managing the cluster, it only updates the credentials for the Gateway Admin User and Gateway OS User.
