Prism Central 2021.1 oddities?

Question

I have a couple of oddities going on, one is an ongoing and one was post latest PC2021. update.

I was getting warnings that I was using the CVM default password so I chnaged it, it is supposed to replicate to the other CVMs but i get a health alert saying the remaining CVMs are still using the default password - any ideas why?

And post PC update, i can log in using ssh but I can’t login to the web UI - I get the login screen , but after I enter username and password (not default) I get “server not available” I have run health checks and idf checks and all seem to PASS - is there a bug in the latest PC Patch? Just to note I can log into Prism Element with my name and password ok.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Erik,You receive the health alert but did you check if the password was reset? As in is the alert a true positive and the password change was not propagated?As per the PC UI log in, are you logging in with a local account or an AD account? If it’s an AD account is the log in failing for you only or other accounts are affected as well? I assume since you mentioned, that the username and password are not default that we’re talking about a local account but I thought I’d check anyway.
