Exadata, How to change ilom root password

For security raison, we need to change dbnode/cell ilom root password regularly. Let’s login to Ilom and change password.

> ssh exa01-ilom
Password:

Oracle(R) Integrated Lights Out Manager

Version 4.0.4.52.a r139829

Copyright (c) 2021, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

Warning: HTTPS certificate is set to factory default.

Hostname: exa01-ilom

-> set /SP/users/root password
Enter new password: ********
Enter new password again: ********

-> exit

Above procedure changes only one ilom root password. If we want change all dbnodes or cells , we can do like this:

dcli -g dbnodes -l root " ipmitool sunoem cli 'set /SP/users/root password=<password>' <password> "
