New deployed simplviity node root and svtcli sudden change password

[shang1983]

Hello, 

Here's my situation, I've deploy an additional 1 node to my existing simplivity federation yesterday. Everything was working fine. All the login were tested. 

Today when I tried to login to the ESXi thru putty, keep getting "Access denied". Then I tried login thru direct console and ESXi Shell. Both also display invalid username or password. 

I tried to login the ovc svtcli with the password set and it shows access denied too. 

I check the host event log thru vcenter, the OVC connect to the ESXi with root was okay up until 8:50am then it start display message "Cannot login root@ovc ip to the ESXi host".

Hi, did you try to login to the OVC with SSO account (basically administrator@vsphere.local) ?

Is the ESXi still attached to the vCenter ?

If you have access to the other OVC, does the svt-federation-show display the new server with all lights green ?

Maybe you have with the help of the HPE support team to upload credentials on OVC.

Regards,

Jean-Philippe

The OVC able to login with administrator@vsphere.local and the host is attached with  vCenter. 

The svt-federation-show that affect host is still in green.
