cluster set-password

--root

Sets the password of the Linux OS superuser on all CNodes and DNodes in the cluster. The user name is (and remains) root.

After you enter the command, you are prompted to enter the new password and subsequently to re-enter the new password. The VAST CLI then informs you when the password change is finished.

--vastdata

Sets the password of the Linux OS user vastdata on all CNodes and DNodes in the cluster. The user name is (and remains) vastdata.

After you enter the command, you are prompted to enter the new password and subsequently to re-enter the new password. The VAST CLI then informs you when the password change is finished.

--ipmi

Sets the password of the IPMI admin user on all CNodes and DNodes in the cluster. The user name is (and remains) admin.

After you enter the command, you are prompted to enter the new password and subsequently to re-enter the new password. The VAST CLI then informs you when the password change is finished.

Caution

• From VAST Cluster 5.3.3, VMS accepts IPMI passwords that meet the following generic validation criteria:

  • At least one upper case letter

  • At least one lower case letter

  • At least one digit

• Prior to VAST Cluster 5.3.3, VMS does not accept passwords with special characters.

• Depending on CNode and DNode models, the vendor may have additional validation criteria such as requiring or not allowing a special character. Running this command with a password that does not meet all vendor criteria may result in a failure changing the password on specific affected nodes.

• The command cannot be rolled back.
