You can update the passwords for one or more nodes from
PowerFlex Manager.
Steps
On the menu bar, click
Resources.
On the
All Resources tab, select one or more nodes for which you want to change the passwords.
Click
Update Password.
PowerFlex Manager displays the
Update Password wizard.
On the
Select Components page, specify which passwords you want to update for the selected nodes by clicking one or more of the following check boxes.
iDRAC Password
Node Operating System Password
SVM Operating System Password
MVM Operating System Password
The option to update passwords for SVMs and MVMs will only appear if a node is in a resource group.
Click
Next.
On the
Select Credentials page, create a credential with a new password or change to a different credential.
Open the
iDRAC,
OS Password,
SVM Password, or
MVM Password object under the
Type column to see credential details for each node you selected on the
Resources page.
The
SVM Password and
MVM Password sections do not appear if there is nothing to show for SVMs or MVMs.
To create a credential that has the new password, click the plus sign (+) under the
Credentials column.
Specify the
Credential Name and the
User Name for which you want to change the password. Enter the new password in the
Password and
Confirm Password fields.
To modify the credential, click the pencil icon for the nodes under the
Credentials column and select a different credential.
Click
Save.
You must perform the same steps for the node operating system and SVM operating system password changes. For a node operating system credential, only the OS admin credential type is updated.
Click
Finish.
Click
Yes to confirm.
Results
PowerFlex Manager starts a new job for the password update operation, and a separate job for the device inventory. The node operating system, SVM, and MVM operating components are updated only if
PowerFlex Manager is managing a cluster with these components. If
PowerFlex Manager is not managing a cluster with these components, these components are not displayed and their credentials are not updated. Credential updates for iDRAC are allowed for managed and reserved nodes only. Unmanaged nodes do not provide the option to update credentials.
