How to change the admin password of BCMM from its CLI (SSH) - Internal


  • Question
    How to change the admin password from BCMM in SSH?

  • Answer

    The BCMM command line works in several domains, since it’s a centric point of access to a lot of system components (i.e. Blades, Management modules, Switches, etc..)

    The first step is declaring in what domain you are going to work:
      > env –T system:mm[1]
    This will set you working in the Management module domain.

    Then list the current users:

      > users –curr

    Usually you’ll see the “USERID” listed as no. 1 – remember this no.!

    Now running the users command with the change password switches:

       > users -1 –op -p


    NOTE: Notice the -1 switch, this is the user no. you saw on the “users –curr” command output.

    You can find more information in IBM's docuemntation.

    That's it, youre done - the password has changed.
