Changing the storage system computer account password manually

You can change the storage system's Active Directory computer account password manually. The cifs changefilerpwd command instructs the storage system to change its domain account password immediately.

About this task

Note: For Active Directory domains with multiple domain controllers, a password change might inhibit CIFS connections for a short time while Active Directory propagates the new password among the domain controllers.

Step

  1. Enter the following command: cifs changefilerpwd
    The storage system responds with the following message:
    password change scheduled.

    The password change is scheduled, and should take place within a minute.
