5 Essential Tips for Maximizing Your Experience at Nutanix .NEXT for Bloggers
Hi Mark, the password change for the CVM worked. Whats the possible password complexity? I just created a random one with all kinds of special chars in it but it didn't run. How can I change the root password for all AHV hosts? Regards Christian
Ok perfect, that worked. Thanks a lot. Is passwd a nutanix command? I used a less complex password this time. My "nutanix" user is still locked out on my CVMs. Guess I used a too complex password or chars that are not supported. Regards Christian
Ah ok. Didn't know. I'm really not much into Linux or Unix. Guess I need to invest more time into that topic if I want to handle Nutanix. Thanks for your quick reply. Regards Christian PS: Do you know the password for the CVM root user or know a way how I can recover my "nutanix" user password? Update Ok I just solved it. After reading tons of Linux articles I found this: [url=https://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/BecomingRoot]https://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/BecomingRoot[/url] 1. Basically I logged in with my PRISM "admin" account 2. I ran: su root - pasword = nutanix/4 3. passwd nutanix Works :) I tried a couple of times to log in with root and nutanix/4u directly via putty which didn't work but the "su root" command works.
Hi, 1. Use a tool like putty to connect to your AHV [img]https://d1qy7qyune0vt1.cloudfront.net/nutanix-us/attachment/3847i3F1DC17BA0B9B944.jpg[/img] 2. run the command: passwd root 3. Enter your new password 4. Retype your new password [img]https://d1qy7qyune0vt1.cloudfront.net/nutanix-us/attachment/3846i129185C52BEA161C.jpg[/img] Done Regards Christian
