You can edit the BMC password on servers that are managed by UCP Advisor.

If you want to change the admin password for a server, you must use the admin account that you used when the server was onboarded to UCP Advisor.

For information about supported server models and their respective password restrictions, see "Device username and password restrictions" in the Hitachi Unified Compute Platform (UCP) Advisor Software Installation Guide.

  • It is recommended to update the password only for the user with which the server is onboarded in UCP Advisor.
  • Verify that the server is managed by UCP Advisor.
  • Do not use any of the previous five passwords for the new password.
  • Verify that the new password meets the password requirements for the server model.
  1. Browse to the server where you want to edit the BMC password.
  2. Click the Edit BMC Password icon.
  3. Enter the server username and the new password.
  4. Click Submit.
    Note: You can also edit the BMC password from the Compute > Summary page.
