the root password is required for any xCAT version. it lost during
upgrading ?
# tabdump passwd
#key,username,password,cryptmethod,authdomain,comments,disable
"omapi","xcat_key","TFEyMDlSdm44YzdBajA1U1Vha3dKQWpkUU9Od2YwbHU=",,,,
"system","root","passw0rd",,,,
Add root password to passwd:
chtab key=system passwd.username=root passwd.password=passw0rd
Thanks,
Casandra Qiu

Hi Casandra,
this is what I have:
[root@hpc3-xcat-1 xcat]# tabdump passwd
#key,username,password,cryptmethod,authdomain,comments,disable
"omapi","xcat_key","NUY4TWhCVnpkOWE5eVFQVWJ5QnJwOGxNY0FrbTY3MUY=",,,,
I did not have a password set for root all this time.
in version 2.16 , is this required now? How do I set a root password in
password table?
thanks.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [xcat-user] installs failing after upgrading to xcat
2.16
Hi,
I just upgraded from 2.15 to the latest 2.16 version of xcat and now I am
getting the following error message, when i try to build a system.
Please see attached.
here is error message, as I read from the console.
A single argument is expected for the rootpw command.
This is in /opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/centos/compute.centos7.tmpl file
and this is what line 129 looks like. this worked fine with xcat 2.15 .
rootpw --iscrypted #CRYPT:passwd:key=system,username=root:password#
Can you please give me a hand with this?
thanks.
