How to update CloudPoint storage array plugin credentials using tpconfig

Problem

How to update the username and password for an existing plugin or delete an existing plugin added to the CloudPoint server.

The credentials may need to be updated under the following circumstances:

• If the storage array password is modified, it needs to be updated for the corresponding array plugin added to the CloudPoint server.
• If an existing plugin needs to be deleted as the array has been decommissioned or is not working for some reason.

Solution:

While modifying the plugin credentials, the Array IP address, username and the new password will need to be provided.

To update the credentials for an existing plugin added to the CloudPoint server, the following command needs to be run:
tpconfig -modify_plugin -cloudpoint_server <cloudpoint server name> -plugin_type <type of plugin> -plugin_id <plugin name>

To obtain the plugin_type and plugin_id for the plugin to be modified, run:
tpconfig -list_plugins -cloudpoint_server <cloudpoint server name>

To delete an existing plugin, run:
tpconfig -delete_plugin -cloudpoint_server <cloudpoint_server_name> -plugin_id <plugin_id>
