At this step, you can modify the following settings:

  • Configuration password (the password used to reconfigure SVMs).
  • Root account password.
  • SVM remote access mode for the root account.

If you want to change the configuration password, select the Change the klconfig account password (configuration password) check box and specify the new configuration password in the Password and Confirmation fields.

If you want to change the root account password, select the Change the root account password check box and specify the new password in the Password and Confirmation fields.

Passwords must be no longer than 60 characters. You can use only letters of the Latin alphabet (uppercase and lowercase letters), numerals, and the following special characters: ! # $ % & ' ( ) * " + , - . / \ : ; < = > _ ? @ [ ] ^ ` { | } ~. For security purposes, you are advised to set passwords that are at least 8 characters long and use at least three of the four categories of characters: lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numerals, and special characters.

If you want to change the root account's remote access mode for SVMs, select the Change the root account remote access mode check box and then perform one of the following actions:

  • To allow the root account to access SVMs using SSH, select the Allow remote access using SSH for root account check box.
  • To prevent the root account from accessing SVMs using SSH, clear the Allow remote access using SSH for root account check box.

Proceed to the next step of the wizard.
