To change sysadmin user account password:

1. Run full discovery by navigating to Settings > Services management > Run full discovery.
2. To view the sysadmin user, click Settings >User Management.

   After the sysadmin user is visible under the User Management section, you must change the password for the sysadmin user.

3. To change the password, click Settings > User management and from the Actions menu (vertical ellipsis) click Change password. In the Change password dialog box specify the password and click Save.

   The password for the sysadmin user can be a maximum of 16 characters and cannot include white spaces and \! special characters. You can view the status of the password change operation on the top of the page.

1. Use any one of the following options to log on using the user account that you created when you configured the cluster:

   • Use a user account with both Appliance Administrator and NetBackup Administrator role, or a user account with only an Appliance administrator role to log on to the NetBackup Flex Scale web UI https://ManagementServerIPorFQDN/webui where ManagementServerIPorFQDN is the public IP address or the FQDN that you specified for the NetBackup Flex Scale management server during the cluster configuration, and then in the left pane click Cluster Management > Cluster settings > Software management.

   • Use a user account with an Appliance Administrator role to log on to the NetBackup Flex Scale infrastructure management UI https://ManagementServerIPorFQDN:14161 where ManagementServerIPorFQDN is the public IP address or the FQDN that you specified for the NetBackup Flex Scale management server during the cluster configuration, and then in the left pane click Settings > Software management.

   Note:

   If you access the NetBackup Flex Scale infrastructure management UI by using the short host name from a node, set the DNS settings (name server, domain name, and search domain) or ensure that the entry for mapping the short host name to an IP address exists in the hosts file of the node.

2. On the Software management page, click Vendor packages.

   The list of installed vendor packages is displayed.

3. Download the kmod-smartpqi-2.1.12-055.rhel7u9.x86_64.rpm vendor package from the Veritas Download Center (under the Base and Upgrade Installers section) or from the hardware vendor site.
4. To upload the vendor package to the driver node, on the Vendor packages tab, click Add and select the vendor package that you downloaded.

   The vendor package is uploaded to the /system/inst/patch/incoming location of the driver node and its status in the UI is shown as Available.

5. To install the kmod-smartpqi vendor package, select it and click Install. The package is installed on all the nodes. If the package is installed successfully on all the nodes, a notification is displayed on the top of the page and the package status changes to Installed. If the installation fails on one of the nodes, the vendor package is rolled back on all the nodes and the package status is shown as Available.
6. After installing the package, you are required to reboot the cluster. Use any one of the following options to reboot the cluster:

   • Reboot each node successively from the UI:

     • Navigate to Infrastructure > Nodes.

     • Reboot each node successively. For each of the nodes, from the Actions menu (vertical ellipsis) click Reboot Node. Wait for the node to be online and healthy before you reboot the next node in the cluster.

   • Reboot the cluster using the cluster-level CLI:

     • Log in to NetBackup Flex Scale cluster-level CLI by using the console IP address with administrator credentials.

       For example: ssh admin_user@console_ip

       You can type a question mark (?) at the prompt to get list of all the available commands.

     • Use the following command to reboot all the cluster nodes:

       cluster node reboot nodename=all
