hi, Mark I think this new question is due to the California Law requirement to force change the password ,which will force you to update the new password if the XCC FW is release within last 4 month
So here is something your can try 1: disable the XCC policy , you should login your compute node OS and run the onecli command to disable the settings ,then reset the XCC IMM.DefPasswordExp=Enabled -> Disable 2: if step 1 not work , you need to enter the F1 setup screen to loaddefault the BMC to retry . if you configure the ipmi tables with the new 3: if you can login the compute node OS and ipmitools is available ,then you can create a new username /password for XCC ,so you can use this new username/password in xCAT [root@node01 ~]# ipmitool user Not enough parameters given.

I then updated the xCAT 'passwd' table with tabch, specifying the new password in plain-text for both the 'impi' and 'blade' keys. The 'tabdump' command seems to show that the table is correct. However, connections to multiple nodes via xCAT utilities (ie., rpower) and the XClarity web interface both fail (with the new & old passwords). The rpower command returns the error: ERROR: Unauthorised role or privilege level requested After those failures (particularly the XClarity web interface trying to get the power & temp data from every cluster node) the XCC ssh server on multiple nodes is now denying connections with: Too many unsuccessful login attempts. Please contact system administrator for any further questions I'm running xCAT Version 2.14.6.lenovo4 (git commit 06d7097f42eca03db70c9eb93b8abeaf8ca1c2be, built Mon Dec 16 17:18:02 UTC 2019).
