Lumen help
You can change the password for virtual machines (VMs) deployed using the default vApp templates (cl01 Lumen) in Lumen Private Cloud on VMware Cloud Foundation.
Note: Before you can change the password on a virtual machine, you must power it off. You must also have VM Tools installed on the VM.
To change the password for a virtual machine:
- On the left menu, click Virtual Machines (under Compute), then select the virtual machine you want to change the password for.
- On the properties page for the VM, click Guest OS Customization, then click EDIT.
- In the Edit Guest Properties section, select the checkboxes for Enable guest customization and Allow local administrator password.
- In the Specify password field, type a password, then click SAVE.
- On the left menu, click Virtual Machines, then click on the vertical ellipsis for the virtual machine you changed the password for.
- To enact your changes, select Power On and Force Recustomization.
- You will see the Status change from Powered off to Powered on.
- Once the status changes to Powered on, the password on your virtual machine has changed.
- To deploy other VMs with this password and configuration, click vApps (on the left menu), click the vertical ellipsis for the VM you changed the password for, select Create Template.
- Name it, customize it, and then use that vApp template to deploy from.
