Resetting the Password
Technical Product Specification 63
9.0 Resetting the Password
It may become necessary to reset the CMM password to its default of cmmrootpass. The CMM has
an onboard dip switch labeled SW1-1 to perform this action. See Section 2.10, “Onboard
Switches” on page 31 for the location of the switch. Setting the switch and powering up the CMM
will cause the password to reset to its default. The CMM then must be removed, and the switch
must be turned off again.
9.1 Resetting the Password in a Single CMM System
For non-redundant systems that contain only a single CMM, resetting the password requires
removing the CMM. This causes any boards that are power controlled by the CMM to power off.
1. If necessary, safely shut down and power off boards being power controlled by the CMM.
2. Remove the CMM from the system.
3. Turn on the dip switch SW1-1. The dip switch has a label indicating which way is on.
4. Reinsert the CMM into the system and allow the CMM to fully boot into Bluecat Linux*.
5. Once at the login prompt, the password should now be reset to its default of cmmrootpass.
6. Log in to the CMM to ensure the password was reset.
7. Remove the CMM from the system.
8. Turn off dip switch SW-1 by moving it back to its original off position.
9. Reinsert the CMM into the system and allow the CMM to fully boot into Bluecat Linux.
10. Log in to the CMM and operate as normal.
9.2 Resetting the Password in a Dual CMM System
In redundant systems containing dual CMMs - one active, one standby - the password should be
reset on the standby CMM. Once reset to its default, the default password will synchronize itself to
the active CMM. This prevents the need to perform the reset on both CMMs and a failover.
1. Open the ejector latch on the standby CMM and wait for the blue hot swap LED to illuminate,
indicating the CMM is safe to remove from the system.
2. A health event will occur on the active CMM indicating redundancy has been lost. A SEL
entry will be recorded, and a trap will be sent out.
3. Remove the standby CMM from the chassis.
4. Turn on the dip switch SW1-1. The dip switch has a label indicating which way is on.
5. Reinsert the CMM into the system and allow the CMM to fully boot into Bluecat Linux.
6. A health event will occur indicating that the passwords on both CMMs have been reset and
was synched from the standby CMM.
7. Once at the login prompt, the password should now be reset to its default of cmmrootpass.
8. Login to the active CMM to ensure the password was reset.
