Resetting your VCS Password
Submitted by LJ McDonald on 16 March 2009 - 6:37pm
If you've manged to get locked out of your Veritas Cluster Server Cluster Manager, but you have root access to the server(s), you can reset your password(s) using the following procedure.
As root on one of the cluster nodes, run the following command:
hauser -list
This should give a list of VCS users for the cluster, perhaps similar to the following:
admin
To reset the password of one of the users in the list, run the following command:
hauser -update admin
You will then be prompted for a new password for the user.
If you receive the following error when running this command:
VCS WARNING V-16-1-11309 Configuration must be ReadWrite
then, you need to put the configuration into ReadWrite mode, with the following command:
haconf -makerw
You should now be able to set passwords as described above.
