XenMobile: Importance of the password

Xenmobile

We you first configure a XenMobile Server in CLI you are asked to provide few password:

  • Admin CLI user password
  • Password for the service account to access the Database
  • Password for the internal PKI
  • Password for the Admin Web portal

 

Be careful with the Password for the internal PKI because if you add a new XMS server in the cluster by importing the OVA file, you need to provide this password.

If you provide a password which is not the same as the 1st node what happen?

I made the test and here are the results:

The server will try to start but after multiple reboot will start in Recovery Mode

Is this possible to solve this without the need to re-import the OVA file and redo the initial config?

In fact, for now, as I now it’s not possible 🙁
