VNXe 3100 powerdown question.

We lost the service password.  Can we shutdown (power down) the VNXe using admin account?

1- can this command power down the NVXe from Admin or Admin privileged account?

svc_shutdown --system-halt

2- How can we manually reset the service password?

Hi Sam,

I think if you use the GUI you can shut down from the admin account, but the CLI uses the service account. You will have to reset both passwords to reset the service password. https://dell.to/2DarMaf

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Josh

I do not see the option to shutdown from the GUI using Amin account.  What I see is only Service Account.

can you please give me some direction?  it is extremely important to us since resetting the button requires a physical presence which is a very difficult task at this moment.

Thank you
