Update Password
Use the Update Password task to update HMC access and Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI) passwords on the managed system.
The first time you access a managed system using an HMC, the system prompts
you to enter passwords for each of the following:
- Hardware Management Console: HMC access
- Advanced System Management Interface: General
- Advanced System Management Interface: Admin
If another HMC subsequently needs access to this managed system, upon attempting to access this HMC the user is presented with the Update Password Failed Authentication window, which will prompt for the HMC access password you entered.
In the event that the HMC access password changes while you are logged in to the managed system, your HMC will discover that it can no longer authenticate after it attempts to reconnect to that managed system. This will result in a state of Failed Authentication for that managed system. You will be required to enter the new password before any actions can be performed.
