Nutanix AHV pass

@admancom

Looks like you are trying in CVM.

Can you confirm?

Perhaps you are connected to CVM

ID CVM and Host is different

No, I connect through the SSH directly to the AHV host and there is this error.
On AHV default pass root nutanix/4u and dont change it.

On the computer, the password was changed successfully.

Can i change pass for AHV - host?

Of course you can change your AHV host password

Log into the host by SSH and change it with command

passwd root

Hello

the same problem on nutanix "Version 2018.05.01 - Community License"

Connected to a recent installed AHV server (not the CVM)



On the CVM exists the passwd command and work.



Any razon to don't have the password command on the AHV ??

thanks and attentive

I am having exactly the same problem. I can easily change the nutanix user password on my CVM using the passwd command, but when I SSH into AHV the passwd (or passwd root)command returns the error bash: passwd: command not found. This is on a freshly installed Nutanix CE single node cluster AHV Version Nutanix 20180425.199.

2019.02.11 LTS Community Edition
[root@NTNX-89075ba0-A ~]# passwd root
-bash: passwd: command not found

I can remember that passwd isn't installed as default in community edition.
You can install it with sudo yum -y install passwd

this information comes without any warranty: I don't know if the system still works afterwards; I 've tried it in one of the older community versions

Hi Manfred. Thanks for your reply!

I'm also having this issue - and @manfred's suggested

"sudo yum -y install passwd"

fails "Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base/7/x86_64".

How silly, I ran a 'sudo dhclient' and then the 'sudo yum -y install passwd' worked immediately.
Thanks to those before me in this thread.

Hi @admancom

Try using the "chpasswd" command. For additional details, please check the following KB: https://portal.nutanix.com/kb/6153
