Changing the QoSSIOC service password

You can change the password for the QoSSIOC service using the registration user interface for the management node.

Before you begin

You have cleared the configuration details of the Element management node (mNode) using the NetApp Element Configuration extension point.
Note: You must clear the settings for the configured management node before configuring the credentials for a new management node. Clearing the mNode settings removes active QoSSIOC from the vCenter, cluster, and datastores.
Your management node is powered on.

About this task

This process describes how to change the QoSSIOC password only. If you want to change the QoSSIOC user name, you can do so from the mNode Settings page of the NetApp Element Configuration extension point.

Steps

Enter the IP address for your management node in a browser, including the TCP port for registration: https://[management node IP]:9443.
The registration UI displays the Manage QoSSIOC Service Credentials page for the plug-in.
Enter the following information:
- Old Password: The current password of the QoSSIOC service. If you have not yet assigned a password, type the default password: solidfire
- New Password: The new password for the QoSSIOC service.
- Confirm Password: Enter the new password again.
Click Submit Changes.
Note: The QoSSIOC service automatically restarts after you submit changes.
In your vSphere Web Client, select NetApp Element Configuration > mNode Settings.
Click Actions.
In the resulting menu, select Configure.
In the Configure mNode Settings dialog, enter the new password in the mNode Password field.
Click OK.
The mNode Status field displays UP when the plug-in can successfully communicate with the service.
