I found a problem which describes as follows:
1. I installed a ESXi host, set password as A, and use vCenter to manage it. Everything is fine.
2. I changed ESXi host password to B, and thought vCenter needs to change the password used to connect to that ESXi, and found nothing need to be done. The vCenter still can manage that ESXi host. Incredible!
3. After vSphere 5.1 is out, I want to update ESXi to 5.1 by update manager. Update procedure failed, tells me cannot create ramdisk about ~300mb. After googling for the error message, it is said that local datastore has not enough free space, but my local datastore has about 250g free space.
4. After digging into ESXi log file (vua.log), I tried to revert ESXi host password to A and try update again. Success!
My question is:
Is there any way to change the password vCenter uses to connect to ESXi host after ESXi host's password has benn changed? I know i can disconnect then reconnect, but it seems to be a stupid way...
