Instructions

Steg för att ändra ESXi root-lösenord och synkronisera det med ACM:
 
1. Logga in på ACM med rotanvändaren via PuTTY och stoppa webbapptjänsten. 
Kommando: service dataprotection_webapp stopp
 
2. Logga in på ESXi med rotanvändaren via PuTTY och ändra lösenordet för ESXI root till det vanliga lösenordet.
 Kommando : passwd
 
Obs: Ange det vanliga lösenordet som du angav under ACM-startkonfigurationen.
 
3. Logga in på ACM med rotanvändaren via PuTTY
 
4. Skapa en kopia av InfrastructureComponents.xml
 
Kommando: cd /usr/local/dataprotection/var/configmgr/server_data/config
 
Kommando: cp InfrastructureComponents.xml original_InfrastructureComponents.xml
 
5. Redigera infrastrukturfilen och ändra *endast* taggen "password" enligt nedan:
 
Före ändringen ser filen ut så här:
 
<?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'.
