Cloud Volumes ONTAP includes a cluster admin account. You can change the password for this account from BlueXP, if needed.

Caution You should not change the password for the admin account through ONTAP System Manager or the ONTAP CLI. The password will not be reflected in BlueXP. As a result, BlueXP cannot monitor the instance properly.
About this task

The password must observe a few rules. The new password:

  • Shouldn't contain the word admin

  • Must be between eight and 50 characters in length

  • Must contain at least one English letter and one digit

  • Shouldn't contain these special characters: / ( ) { } [ ] # : % " ? \

Steps

  1. On the Canvas page, double-click the name of the Cloud Volumes ONTAP working environment.

  2. On the upper right of the BlueXP console, click the ellipses icon, and select Set password.
