Update User Password on TPVM

Learn how to change the TPVM password after you upgrade the SLX-OS version either from SLX or from XCO.

For details on changing TPVM password after a TPVM upgrade, see "TPVM Complete Package Upgrade" and “Change TPVM Password from XCO” in the ExtremeCloud Orchestrator Deployment Guide, 3.6.0 .

To change the 'extreme' user password on TPVM, use the following procedure:

Procedure Example:

(a) Delete trusted peer config under tpvm config in the SLXes:

SW_110(config-tpvm-TPVM)# no trusted-peer 

(b) This would result in standby status going down in efa.

(efa:extreme)extreme@efa-111:~$ efa status
+-----------+---------+--------+--------------+
| Node Name |    Role | Status |  IP          |
+-----------+---------+--------+--------------+
|   efa-111 |  active | up     | 10.20.48.10  |
+-----------+---------+--------+--------------+
|   efa-110 | standby | down   | 10.20.48.251 |
+-----------+---------+--------+--------------+

(c) Change the passwords for the user extreme in the tpvms in linux mode using command:

extreme@efa-110:~$ sudo passwd extreme
Enter new UNIX password: test123
Retype new UNIX password: test123
passwd: password updated successfully

(d) Do a fresh config of trusted peer in the SLXes with the updated password:

SW_110(config-tpvm-TPVM)# trusted-peer ip 10.20.48.10 password test123 

(e) Standby status is now up in efa:

(efa:extreme)extreme@efa-110:~$ efa status
+-----------+---------+--------+--------------+
| Node Name |  Role   | Status | IP           |
+-----------+---------+--------+--------------+
|   efa-110 | active  |   up   | 10.20.48.251 |
+-----------+---------+--------+--------------+
|   efa-111 | standby |   up   |  10.20.48.10 |
+-----------+---------+--------+--------------+
