9 Changing system parameters
IMPORTANT:
To avoid unintended consequences, HP recommends that you perform the procedures in this chapter
during scheduled maintenance times.
Passwords
Changing hardware passwords
Use the exdsmgr reconfigure system menu to change the OA, iLO, and Virtual Connect
passwords. The password must be fewer than 15 characters in length. To change the iLO password,
first shut down all servers except the server where you run the exdsmgr reconfigure system
command.
After the exdsmgr reconfigure system command finishes the configuration, boot the other
servers.
Root password
To change the root password, use the passwd(8) command on each server in turn.
Mxconsole password
Use the exdsmgr reconfigure system menu to change the Matrix password.
Matrix services
Customizing HTTP
See Modifying VHTTPD for instructions on how to change virtual host information.
When you create a vhttpd service, the HP ExDS9100 system creates a symbolic link from /etc/
httpd/conf/httpd.conf to /var/mxso/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. This is a global, shared
file among all servers in the HP ExDS9100 system (that is, there is only one file to edit). The
DocumentRoot directive points to /var/mxso/httpd/www. This directory contains:
• index.html
• A file called exds-further-reading.html
