IBM Elastic Storage System 3200 Login issues
Note: The default password is ibmesscluster and must be changed after the rst login. Customers
should be advised to change the password once the SSR task is complete.
If you face issues with logging in with username: essserv1 and password: <serial number of server>A or
<serial number of server>B (depending on Canister), perform the following steps:
Log in as a root user:
• username: root
• password: ibmesscluster
Note: You should only login as root when you cannot login as essserv1 and it is an emergency. The root
password is set to expire so you will be prompted to change immediately. Work with the customer to
change the root password again after the installation is complete.
Run the essutils tool manually by typing essutils and pressing the Enter key.
