Fresh Intall Nutanix Cluster - IPMI default password | Nutanix Community
Skip to main content

Hello all,

I’ve just finished the basic installation of a new 3 nodes Nutanix Cluster (NX-1065-G7 node). When i try to enter the IPMI password nothing happens. It seems the password is wrong. I have tried the default ADMIN/ADMIN password but it doesn’t worked (also admin/admin).Did the default password change with the release 5.15.x of AOS ?

For information, the cluster has been created with the following parameters : 

  • AOS 5.15.2
  • Foundation VM 4.5.4.1
  • ESXi 6.7U3

The “ipmitool user list” show me an “ADMIN” user with ID 2, so i think the account is correctly created. I ve tried on each of the 3 nodes and it’s still the same. So if the password set is ADMIN by default and is not working, can i safely change it with the ipmitool command ? Thx for your answers :)

Just found the answer, sorry for the stupid question: Release Notes | G6 and G7 Platforms: BMC 7.08

No more ADMIN password, but the serial number of each node.


yeah, you got it :)


Same problem today thank you for information.
