Preventing job failures by synchronizing vSnap and CIFS passwords

Communications between a vSnap server and a Common Internet File System (CIFS) share can be disrupted if credentials are shared, but passwords are out of sync. To prevent jobs from failing, you must synchronize the vSnap and CIFS passwords.

About this task

If you have already changed the vSnap system password, run the following command to synchronize the SMB/CIFS password with the system password. When prompted to enter a username, specify the account (for example, serveradmin) that is used to register the vSnap server in IBM Storage® Protect Plus. When prompted to enter the password, specify the current system password for that account.
