– The USB flash drive is not formatted with the correct file system type. Use
any USB flash drive that is formatted with FAT32 file system on its first
partition; for example, NTFS is not a supported type. Reformat the key or use
a different key.
– The USB port is not working. Try the key in the other USB port.
– The node is not operational. Check the status using the light-emitting diodes
(LEDs). See “Procedure: Understanding the Storwize V7000 Gen1 system
status using the LEDs” on page 262.
v If there is a satask_result.html file, check the first entry in the file. If there is
no entry that matches the time the USB flash drive was used, it is possible that
the USB port is not working or the node is not operational. Check the node
status using the LEDs. See “Procedure: Understanding the Storwize V7000 Gen1
system status using the LEDs” on page 262.
v If there is a status output for the time the USB flash drive was used, then the
satask.txt file was not found. Check that the file was named correctly. The
satask.txt file is automatically deleted after it has been processed.
Procedure: Resetting superuser password
You can reset the superuser password to the default password of passw0rd by
using a special command action. The password procedure differs, depending on
the generation of your control enclosure model.
