Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

Getting the following system message every few seconds in the Private Cloud Appliance (PCA) on Oracle Fabric Interconnect (OVN/Xsigo) CLI:

[EMERG] ims::IMSService [ims::failedloginattempt] user admin has tried to log on for 5 times in a row without success !!

The above error can also be seen spewing in the /var/log/user.log* of the Fabric Interconnects after changing root and admin user from Fabric Interconnect CLI.

Changes

The root and admin user passwords on the Oracle Fabric Interconnects (OVN) within the Private Cloud Appliance (PCA) has been changed.

Cause

Whenever an Oracle Fabric Interconnect's root and admin user passwords have been changed using CLI or OFM, you must also un-manage and then re-manage the Oracle Fabric Interconnects from within the Oracle Fabric Manager. This will then stop xms.log from recording failed IMS logins and stop the IMS failed login messages being echoed to SSH console.

Oracle Fabric Manager (OFM) documentation states when changing root / admin passwords from within OFM that you need to un-manage and then re-manage the Fabric Interconnect

The following KB gives an idea of what needs to be done when changing Fabric Interconnect admin login password:
