Password based root access is automatically disabled on new installations of the HyperScale Flex cluster.
Some operations may require root access. In such situations, temporarily enable root access for all the nodes in the Storage Pool while performing the operation, and then disable root access once the operation is completed. When enabled, the root user access is automatically disabled after 24 hours. Root access can be disabled on the HyperScale X nodes so that only the cvbackupadmin user can log on and access the nodes.
Note
- When root access is disabled, ssh and console login will be prohibited.
