Node discovery fails during initial configuration if the default password is changed

Before configuring the cluster if you run the support elevate command from the NetBackup Flex Scale shell menu you are prompted to change the default password. After the password is changed and you click Rescan on the Select nodes panel in the NetBackup Flex Scale setup wizard, the node discovery operation hangs. (IA-38247)

Workaround:

Do not run the support elevate command before you configure the cluster as you will always be prompted to change the default password on your first login attempt.

If you already changed the password after running this command, you must reset the password to the default password using the following command:
