I need to reset my EV service account password. The version of EV is 10.0.4 and is configured with Window FailOver Cluster Manager (with prevent Fail Back). When I searched through forum I got the below steps to change the Service account.
Please let me know how I can freeze service group temporarily as stated in step 2 in a n windows clustered environment. In VCS probably I can do it with hagrp -freeze [service-group] command. I cannot see anywhere, how I can temperorily freeze in Windows Clustering.
The Enterprise Vault Service Account (VSA) password on Cluster needs to be changed :
1. Offline all EV resources in Cluster Administrator.
2. Temporarily Freeze the service group for EV in Cluster Administrator
3. Change the password for the Vault Service Account in Active Directory
4. Change the password on all EV Services on every EV Node via the services.msc console
5. Unfreeze the service group for EV in Cluster Administrator
6. Bring ONLY Directory and Admin back online again
7. Change the password for the VSA in the VAC under 'Directory Properties - Service Account' and click OK
8. Stop Directory and Admin resources via Cluster Administrator and then start ALL EV Resources
9. Check Event logs for any errors and finally test failover
