Instructions

Here are the steps to change the three default user passwords on a VNX Unified system, VNX-File, and VNX-Block.

Steps to change the password from Unisphere:
  1. Open Unisphere by using Control Station IP.
  2. Log in by using the user that you would like to change the password for such as sysadmin, nasadmin, or root.
(Note: The scope should be "Global" when using "sysadmin" user. Sysadmin is a Global User. However, when using "nasadmin" or "root" users, scope should be "Local" because they are local users.)

  2. Go to Settings and select Change Password.

Repeat the above steps 1 through 5 for each of the user accounts. Ensure you fully log out of the web UI before starting the next user account. IE does not close the Unisphere window. Click the "Logout" button on the upper right of the Unisphere window.
