Change Storage Server Passwords

Language:

For a list of default accounts and passwords, see Default User Accounts and Passwords.

Note - When a password is changed for any SuperCluster component that Oracle Engineered Systems Hardware Manager manages (such as the Exadata storage server OS), you must also update the password in Oracle Engineered Systems Hardware Manager. For details, refer to the Oracle SuperCluster M8 and SuperCluster M7 Administration Guide.

Log into the storage server as celladmin.
See Log into the Storage Server OS.

Change a password using one of these methods.
- Change the password for an account on the server you are logged into.
```
# passwd account_name
```
- Change an account password across all the storage servers.
  The cell_group is a simple text file listing the host names of all of the storage servers (one per line).
  
  In this example, replace these command line items:
  - new_password – Replace with the new password that is compliant with site policies.
  - account_name – Replace with the name of the Oracle Linux account.
```
# dcli -g cell_group -l root "echo new_password | passwd --stdin account_name"
```
