Manually configure LIA password.

Keep in mind that the LIA password (token) must be identical in all nodes where LIA is installed.

Option A:

1. Edit the conf.txt LIA file (/opt/emc/scaleio/lia/cfg) -> delete lia_token hashed string.

2. Enter a new lia_token string in plain text (for security reasons it's recommended to keep the complexity condition: password must be between 6 and 31 characters and include at least three of the following groups: [a-z], [A-Z], [0-9] and special chars (!@#$...). Blank spaces are not allowed.

3. Save your changes and restart the LIA service: go to /opt/emc/scaleio/lia/bin -> run delete_service.sh and then create_service.sh -> this will re-hash the plain text string you entered.

Option B:

Uninstall the LIAs from all nodes and perform system extend from the IM, to re-install LIA on all nodes with the password of your choosing.

Thanks for the reponse!

Would the system extend operation cause any disruption to the cluster? If it detects that the proper packages are already installed will it skip them over?

No, Extend is designed to detect the currently installed components (and verify the version and build install) so it will install only the missing component (per the PKGs you upload to the IM).

System extend likewise has created a task called "validate LIA password" which also causes the extend operation to fail.

I've followed your instructions for manually altering the config file on each node and rehashing/restarting the service. I'm still receiving "invalid LIA password" from the IM.
