The MSA requires a service account registered with vCenter to securely communicate with hosts in the cluster. To create the service account jetstream@<local vcenter domain> or renew the password for an existing one, do the following:

    • Log in to the MSA via SSH.
    • Execute the script: pwsh /opt/fio/vme2/python/manage_iofrest_user.ps1
    • Enter vCenter details: FQDN, administrator account name, and password.
    • If required, enter details to access the MSA: The local MSA address 127.0.0.1 can be used. Specify the user name admin and enter the password set during MSA setup.


Note: The administrator account used for this process must have sufficient privileges to create new roles, users, and change user passwords.

    • The script will configure the service account and register its password with the MSA.
