vsp esxi password
Specifies the VSP ESXi password.
Syntax
vsp esxi password <password-string>
Parameters
<password-string> | ESXi password. |
Usage
When a password is not synchronized between the RiOS software and ESXi, RiOS cannot communicate with ESXi. The vsp esxi password command synchronizes the new password between RiOS and ESXi or pushes the new password to ESXi, depending on the current status of connectivity from RiOS to ESXi.
The hypervisor password complexity has changed in ESXi 6.0. Passwords that were valid for 5.x may not be permitted in 6.0. However, if you upgrade from ESXi 5.x to 6.x, your password will be saved. For details on this password policy change, see:

The esxi_communication_failed alarm is triggered if RiOS cannot communicate with ESXi because of a password problem or any other connection problem.
