vCenter password change

[EBoucq]

Hello,

We need to periodically change the password of the account that our Veeam server uses to connect to.
What will be the impact ? Will the backup stop working immediately or next time we restart the Veeam Server ?

Thanks,
Eric

We will not be able to authenticate against vCenter. So you need to run the vcenter wizard again.

If you need to automate this, it is possible by our PS.

I have recently changed my vcenter appliance root password and now noticed that the backup jobs are failing . Trying to apply the changed root password is failing to work. Kindly suggest the best way possible to fix this issue.

Please open a support case to have our engineers review and understand why is it failing. Thanks!
