1. Faça log-in no ACM usando o usuário root via putty e interrompa o serviço webapp. 
Comando: service dataprotection_webapp stop
 
2. Faça log-in no ESXi usando o usuário root via putty e altere a senha do root do ESXI para a senha comum.
 Comando : passwd
 
Nota: Forneça a senha comum que você forneceu durante a configuração inicial do ACM.
 
3. Faça log-in no ACM usando o usuário root via putty
 
4. Crie uma cópia docomando InfrastructureComponents.xml

: cd /usr/local/dataprotection/var/configmgr/server_data/config

Command: cp InfrastructureComponents.xml original_InfrastructureComponents.xml

5.    Edite o arquivo de infraestrutura e modifique *apenas* a tag "password", conforme mostrado abaixo:
 
Antes da modificação, o arquivo tem a seguinte aparência:
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<InfrastructureComponents>
    <ACM>
        <ipAddress>_customer_ip</ipAddress>
    </ACM>
    <ESXiHosts>
        <ESXi>
            <ipAddress>_customer_ip</ipAddress>
            <privateIpAddress>_customer_ip</privateIpAddress>
            <username>root</username>
            <password isEncrypted="true">nKWguK4OP0WU76mnsCY1+ScouI4Bgt9aJBtaYpLoHiO6XjXQuQ==</password>
            <isIdpaUserCreated>false</isIdpaUserCreated>
            <isRootPasswordChanged>false</isRootPasswordChanged>
        </ESXi>
    </ESXiHosts>
</InfrastructureComponents>


 Where the field highlighted in yellow can be different for different system, it is just a encrypted string.
 
 After modification, the file looks like this:
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<InfrastructureComponents>
    <ACM>
        <ipAddress>_customer_ip</ipAddress>
    </ACM>
    <ESXiHosts>
        <ESXi>
            <ipAddress>_customer_ip</ipAddress>
            <privateIpAddress>_customer_ip</privateIpAddress>
            <username>root</username>
            <password isEncrypted="false">**COMMON_PASSWORD**</password>
            <isIdpaUserCreated>false</isIdpaUserCreated>
            <isRootPasswordChanged>false</isRootPasswordChanged>
        </ESXi>
    </ESXiHosts>
</InfrastructureComponents>

Where **COMMON_PASSWORD** is your common password.

 
6. Start the ACM Service using the below command:
Command: service dataprotection_webapp start
 
7. Wait 10 minutes. Check the InfrastructureComponents.xml and make sure that the password tag value has changed for 'isEncrypted' = 'true'.
