Password migration during firmware changes Table 106 describes the expected outcome of password settings when upgrading or downgrading firmware for various Fabric OS versions. Table 106 Password migration behavior during firmware upgrade/downgrade Topic v4.4.0 to v5.0.1 v5.0.1 to 5.1.x Passwords used when upgrading to a newer firmware release for the first time. Passwords preserved during subsequent firmware upgrades Default accounts and passwords are preserved. MUA accounts created during a previous upgrade to v5.0 are restored. Default accounts and passwords are preserved. MUA accounts created during a previous upgrade to 5.1.x are restored. Passwords used if downgrading to an older firmware for the first time When downgrading to an older firmware at subsequent times, which passwords will be used? When downgrading then upgrading again, what passwords will be used? Downgrades to v4.4.0 preserve all existing default accounts, MUA accounts and passwords. MUA accounts with the switchAdmin role have the same permissions as the user role. Downgrades to v4.4.0 preserve all existing default accounts, MUA accounts and passwords. MUA accounts with the switchAdmin role have the same permissions as the user role. All default and MUA accounts and passwords remain unchanged. Downgrades to v5.0.1 preserve all existing default accounts, MUA accounts and passwords. Downgrades to v5.0.1 preserve all existing default accounts, MUA accounts and passwords. All default and MUA accounts and passwords remain unchanged. Password recovery options Table 107 describes the options available when one or more types of passwords are lost. Table 107 Password recovery options Topic v4.0.0 v4.1.0 and later If all the passwords are forgotten, what is the password recovery mechanism? Are these procedures non-disruptive recovery procedures? Contact your switch service provider. A non-disruptive procedure is available. Contact HP. A non-disruptive procedure is available. If a user has only the root Root can change any password, what is the password password by using the recovery mechanism? passwd command. Use passwd command to set other passwords. Use passwdDefault command to set all passwords to default. 450 Understanding legacy password behaviour
