Changing Passwords on a ztC Endurance System

After installation, use the Change Passwords page on the ztC Endurance console​ to change the following user-configurable passwords:

  • BMCs - Admin — BMC Web console administrator account password.

  • BMCs - Sysadmin — Password for the Debug console sysadmin user account. This is automatically set by the ztC Endurance system during initial installation, but you can change it. Most users never need to access the BMC Debug console.

  • Redfish — Password for the BMC Redfish administrator account. This is automatically set by the ztC Endurance system during initial installation, but you can change it. Most users never need to access the Redfish administrator account.

  • Management User — zenadmin account on the Standby OS.

See Gathering Information to learn more about the BMC Web console administrator account password and the zenadmin password.

Note: Changing a password requires placing the standby compute module in maintenance mode, and changing the Management User password requires a Smart Exchange. The system prompts you to confirm these actions before proceeding.

Use the ztC Endurance console​ to change the passwords for accounts on the ztC Endurance system.
