Yes, the documentation needs to be updated... , but Host passwd can be updated easily using Cloudmonkey , I just updated 30 xenserver hosts using cloudmonkey
1. setup cloudmonkey 2. get the hostid and clusterid and then update the host passwd .. for ex update hostpassword clusterid= < cluster id > hostid= <hostid> password=xxxxxxxxxx username=root > list hosts count = 6 host: id = 0c9b4c8f-69d5-42b3-b02f-fd987da670ed name = cld-test-pod1-xen6.xxxxxxxxxxxx capabilities = xen-3.0-x86_64 , xen-3.0-x86_32p , hvm-3.0-x86_32 , hvm-3.0-x86_32p , hvm-3.0-x86_64 clusterid = 793a4b28-070d-4f31-982b-3c973608bdb1 clustername = pod1-cluster1 > update hostpassword clusterid=ec483b01-2387-xxxxxxxxxxx-94e487fbe4e9 > hostid=bcfba758-xxxxxxxxxxxx password=xxxxxxxxxx username=root More information on cloudmonkey is below https://cwiki.apache.org/CLOUDSTACK/cloudstack-cloudmonkey-cli.html Prashant Sreedharan Cloudstack & XenServer Administrator , Ops T: +1 805 690 3486 | M: +1 805 453 9105 prashant.sreedha...@citrix.com Powering mobile workstyles and cloud services -----Original Message----- From: Kirk Jantzer [mailto:kirk.jant...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 31, 2013 4:17 PM To: Cloudstack users mailing list Subject: Change host password?? http://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/en-US/Apache_CloudStack/4.1.0/html/Admin_Guide/change-host-password.html This document says to update the password column, which doesn't exist in the host table.
