#2064 Not all frame passwords are the same
xcat version: 2.6.6 (0613)
This command does not work for me. Not all the original passwords are the same.
rspconfig frame '*_passwd=<oldpwd>,<newpd>'</newpd></oldpwd>
I still have to execute them individually.
rspconfig frame general_passwd=<oldpwd>,<newpd>
rspconfig frame admin_passwd=<oldpwd>,<newpd>
rspconfig frame HMC_passwd=<oldpwd>,<newpd> </newpd></oldpwd></newpd></oldpwd></newpd></oldpwd>

Kerry, I think the rspconfig fsp_or_bpa _passwd can only be used when the admin, HMC and general use the same password, it is useful especially for initializing the FSP/BPA passwords, or when you want to change the BPA/FSP password after you initialized the passwords using rspconfig fsp_or_bpa _passwd.
Jie Hua, please correct me if I am wrong.
BTW, the rspconfig manpage does not include the explanation for admin_password, HMC_password, general_password and *_password, you may need to update the rspconfig manpage to include this.
Guang Cheng,
_passwd can't be used for initializing the pws for the 775, because the factory default pws for the 3 userids are different (general, admin, abc123). I've updated the Power 775 hw doc to tell the users to run a separate rspconfig cmd for each userid. Kerry says that the hmc doesn't make you specify the factory default userid when changing it. Maybe we could add the capability to rspconfig that if you don't specify the oldpw, then we assume the factory default (that we have hardcoded in our code). Then we could go back to the single _passwd cmd in this case.
Yes, right. Currently, when the system is the factory default, we could NOT use rspconfig with *_passwd cmd, and should update the password of each userrid one by one.
I would like to update the rspconfig command to support that if you don't specify the oldpw, then we assume the factory default.
thanks.
I have fixed it in r9987 and r9988.
thx!
I don't have a frame to verify this on, but if we recreate after using the fix I will re-open.
