SFTP password change: vCenter servers

While using the backup script to protect VCF components, you might want to change the password of an external SFTP server associated with an automatically discovered vCenter server.

1. From a PowerProtect Data Manager command line, type the following two commands:

   cd /usr/local/brs/lib/sysmgr/bin

   ./ppdm-vcf-component-protection.sh
2. Provide PowerProtect Data Manager credentials for a user with the Administrator role.
3. Enter the IP address or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the SDDC Manager server, and then provide SDDC Manager credentials for a user with the Administrator role.
4. From the backup-script main menu, enter 3, and then 2.
5. Confirm if common credentials should be used.
   • Enter y to provide common credentials for all vCenter servers.
   • Enter n to be prompted for the credentials for each individual server.

   Provide vCenter credentials for a user with the Administrator role.

6. Confirm if you want to provide a backup encryption password. This password will be used when backing up the VCF components of all vCenter servers.
7. For each automatically discovered vCenter server, confirm if you want to change the password of the external SFTP server account associated with it.
