Windows: How do I change the password for the OS cluster admin user?

Note:

Changing the password for the OS cluster admin account requires you to restart the cluster after making the change.

  1. If the OS cluster admin user is also a workload execution user, refer to the FAQ topic Windows: How do I change the password for the workload execution user? for additional steps.

  2. Stop all EGO services.

  3. Shut down EGO on the master and all management hosts.

  4. Change the OS cluster admin user password.

  5. If the LIM service is running as the OS cluster admin on the master or management hosts, you must also change the password in the Platform LIM service properties to match the new password. Note that if the LIM service on a compute host is running as the OS cluster admin, you must also stop EGO on that host and change the password.

  6. Start EGO on the master and management hosts. Also start EGO on any compute hosts where you changed the password in the LIM properties.

  7. Execute the following command to set the new password in EGO:

    egosh ego execpasswd -u user_name -x password

    Note:

    If the EGO services did not start automatically, you will need to stop and restart them.
