Root password for Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 by VSM download
Where can I find the default root for rhel5 for vsm password?
Hello Ritchie,
Try again with 'secur4u' this will be the password for root. Or try again with the username: "localadmin" and password: "secur4u" in CLI.
Then try to reset the root password.
(localadmin) # sudo knew.
(root) # passwd root
New password:
Confirm the password:
Then the password for the root user got reset. Try this and let us know how its going.

PCI-Gbspecifications installation on Redhat Enterprise Linux 5
Hello
I tried to install the beta version of the software for the PCI-GPIB on Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 card. Has anyone managed to do this? I get an error message indicating that I need to install the package kernel-source to continue. I did it by installing the package kernel-devel and kernel-head, but still receive the same error messages. I also tried to make a version of Redhat of the answer to Q5 in the Readme for this software, but again without success. Someone can please help me out (and don't forget that I'm still pretty new to linux administration).
Hello
The actual error message said I'd need the kernel-source package to continue (I thought I had).
In fact this morning I turned on the computer and just tried again, and it worked. So somewhere between the kernel-devel/kernel-header download, try suggests SUSE difficulty in the readme file, and install the complete kernel as non-root sources (suggested by another linux forum), fixed it.
Thank you very much!

customization of the Linux root password
Is there anything in the API to customize the root password in a vm Linux in the same way the Windows admin password can be defined?
Unfortunately, this is not possible with what is available in Linux prep, guestOSes Linux/UNIX is 2nd to Windows in the world of VMware and I hope that this will change sooner rather than later
What you can do as a work-around if you have or plan to install VMware Tools when the customer is put into service, is to have a default password and then use something like VMware VIX API to change the password or download a new hash of password. It is not ideal, but which as automated you can get today or by default available your host with the right password.

Consequences of change root password
We lost our root password for our two esx3.5 boxes and I have some questions that I hope someone can help me with, as I am a fairly new admin of VMware.
I have instructions on how to change the root password (http://www.petri.co.il/vmware-esx-server-root-password-reset-recovery-lost.htm) which look good, but I'm not sure on a number of things:
(1) what else will be affected if the root password is changed? We have vcentre, vmotion, vcb and possibly other utilities that I I know not. If I change the root password, one of these (or other applications common/standard) will affect and need to be changed to reflect the new password? In my view, it is not recommended to use root for something like this, but I don't know if it happens.
(2) we have two hosts in the cluster. Do I have reason to assume that I can change the root on one host at a time or make different from eachother? Not that I'm likely to make them different, but my plan is everything to a single host, reset the password on the void and see how it goes. If everything continues to work I then move everything to this host and reset the password on the second host, term, threaten things back where they should be. I am likely to face a problem that do it this way?
Any advice or comments appreciated.
Welcome to the forum.
As written there is no consequence.
This because the vCenter Server using the root connection only when guests first connects.
Then he will add a new user (vpxa) and uses this user.

need to change password for root and oracle Linux
Dear all,
We have installed Oracle RAC server configured a year back. now, due to security reason has to change the root and oracle user password.
so before changing the password, we want to know is there any impact on live server due to change password for the user root and oracle RAC.
as we so oracle user equivalence if we change the password, it will work very well.
Thank you

No, there is no impact of the change to the password of user oracle/root on the equivalence of the user and RAC.

Take your time to look for (iso).
How mkinitrd here. The last time I have to chroot and mount everything manually due to the error log with my ext3 file system after p2ved. If you're lucky, Redhat rescue will be chroot for you and what you have to do is, run $mkinitrd.
Good luck!

Change the password for root to an ESXi host
Hello
I need help to get a script VCO that change password for root to an ESXi host.
In PowerCLI is the Set-VMHostAccount cmdlet. I searched in VCO API... I have not found or something similar.
I found the object of VcHostAccountSpec but seems it only works with "Host Profiles" and my licenses are Standard and Enterprise.
http://www.VMware.com/support/Orchestrator/doc/vco_vsphere51_api/HTML/VcHostAccountSpec.html
Any idea?
Thanks, Roberto
Another option would be to connect to the ESXi host with vCO plugin SSH and run the command "passwd" remotely. Haven't tried, but in theory, it should work.
@Tim - we try to keep the compatibility of the existing whenever possible plug-ins vCO so PowerShell module should work with the latest vCO relies.

Version of the grid: 11.2.0.3
Platfomrm: The last Oracle Enterprise Linux 6 (Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel)
Yes guys Oracle sales have convinced our Manager to go OEL of AIX.
We plan to install RAC on Oracle Enterprise Linux 6 (UEK) 11.2.0.3.
I read this thread on the asmlib and udev rules file.
List of rules for CAR 10.2 udev
As a benefit to ASMLib, periera Levi said (quotes)
'+ A good async IO interface to the database, all the I/o interface is based on a model of performance + ASYNC'
Oracle is not out for 6 OEL or RHEL 6 AsmLib. I think that they will not release asmlib more.
So, we will use only the udev rules file. Without ASMLib, we will have an ASYNCHRONOUS i/o or other storage related issues?
Someone at - it successfully installed 11.2.0.3 RAC OEL 6 with udev rules file?I use +/etc/udev/rules.d/40-multipath.rules+ udev file to configure the permissions of device of multiple devices on path to e/s for use by o/s user grid.
It is as follows:
# modded for setting mpath device permissions SUBSYSTEM!="block", GOTO="end_mpath" KERNEL!="dm-[0-9]*", GOTO="end_mpath" PROGRAM!="/sbin/mpath_wait %M %m", GOTO="end_mpath" ACTION=="add", RUN+="/sbin/dmsetup ls --target multipath --exec '/sbin/kpartx -a -p p' -j %M -m %m" # goto labels added PROGRAM=="/sbin/dmsetup ls --target multipath --exec /bin/basename -j %M -m %m", RESULT=="?*", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="mpath/%c", GOTO="check_cluster_devs" PROGRAM!="/bin/bash -c '/sbin/dmsetup info -c --noheadings -j %M -m %m | /bin/grep -q .*:.*:.*:.*:.*:.*:.*:part[0-9]*-mpath-'", GOTO="check_cluster_devs" PROGRAM=="/sbin/dmsetup ls --target linear --exec /bin/basename -j %M -m %m", NAME="%k", RESULT=="?*", SYMLINK="mpath/%c", GOTO="check_cluster_devs" GOTO="end_mpath" # set device permissions for Grid Infrastructure LABEL="check_cluster_devs" RESULT=="*", GROUP="oinstall", MODE="660" RESULT=="*", OWNER="grid", GROUP="oinstall", MODE="660" OPTIONS="last_rule" LABEL="end_mpath" # eof
I understand that it is no longer necessary that can be configured in +/etc/multipath.conf+ as follows:
.. multipaths { multipath { wwid SSCST_BIOscst1_sdb_757d30d0 alias scst1_sdb mode 0660 uid oinstall gid grid } .. etc. }
However, has never work properly myself--must do something wrong that I saw a few sources Internet showing it works.
As far as I KNOW, it is also with OL6 (as it is with OL5 and earlier versions), not a question of AsmLib or udev/MPIO. Udev is a Mapper devices used by the kernel. The decision is whether to add another layer called AsmLib. Personally, I have yet to see any convincing evidence that why should I increase the complexity of the kernel driver stack, adding AsmLib. We also had a few serious incompatibility with AsmLib issues in the past (where he with, caused compatible I/O corruption at the logical level).
If you look at the clusters in the www.top500.org list, many of them have shared storage accessible via udev/multichemin Pentabytes and nothing else. MPIO has its roots as a driver of kernel for these groups. One of the reasons why we stopped years ago to use EMC Powerpath for our CARS that are wired to EMC San to shared storage.

that means when I call 'fglam d' and I can read
"root password:"subsequently on stdout? "
This output appears after the message "daemon for AgentManager process began."
Foglight agent manager has been installed and started with a normal user.
I'm confused because the FMS applications displays the content of the agent on this host

Default password for the root has not been changed... but there.
I have a problem with a server ESXi in VCenter which reported that following:
Configuration problems
The default password for the root user has not changed.
However, on the server, we changed the default password to our standard from the console. Is there something that needs to be done to update VCenter to check or something? It marks the host as a warning so it is certainly misleading people.
Thank you.Hello and welcome to the Forums!
If the ESXi host is empty, a reboot will probably clear the message. In addition, to restart the management agents would probably erase as well.

Change password for user "root".
I started watching Orchestrator, and I was asked to change the password for the 'vmware' and another 'administrative account"(don't know what it is) when I clicked on Configuration Orchestrator. I clicked on Configuration of the device several times and I have not been invited to reset the 'root' password, I am still able to connect with "vmware" as password. Is it possible for me to connect to via vCenter Orchestrator console and change the password to root via the command line? Or is it possible to force him to ask me to reset the password for the "root"?
If you are able to connect to the vCO Device Configuration using the root / vmware, he should also be able to connect to the console via vCenter as root. Once logged in, simply type passwd and press on enter, then enter your new root pw.

Hello
Is there an easy way to change passwords for root of esx esxi via powercli hosts?

You can use the Set-VMHostAccount cmdlet to change the password of an ESX/ESXi server. Remember that you must connect directly to the host to do.
