PLEASE NOTE
BMC 7.07 and earlier the Nutanix Default Credentials are username = ADMIN and password = ADMIN. In compliance with California statute SB-327, BMC 7.08 and later uses a unique password. The new default credentials are username = ADMIN and password = <node-serial-number>.

To find the serial number, issue the command “ipmitool fru print” from the host. In the output, search for “Board serial”. The “Board serial” value is the BMC password.
You can also find the serial number on the sticker on the node.

Please take note that if you changed IPMI Username and Password during Foundation, this does not apply.

To change the Witness VM default password, enter the passwd command while logged in to the Witness VM and follow the prompts.
