We will migrate all user MySQL databases from xio63 to db01.hpc.osc.edu during 2018 March Downtime. If you use a MySQL database here at OSC, an action is required. Your existing passwords are not being preserved as a part of the migration, so if you wish to continue using MySQL at OSC, you will need to send us a hashed copy of your password. To do so, please follow the instructions below:
- Run the following commands. You should replace 'MyS3cret#' with the password you want to use.
module purge osc-mysql-password 'MyS3cret#'
The password requirements:
- At least eight characters in length
- At least one lower case letter
- At least one upper case letter
- At least one number
- At least one special character
For how to use 'osc-mysql-password', use the command
osc-mysql-password -h
- Do not send us the password. Send us the output of the 'osc-mysql-password' command, your account, and database name to OSC Help so that we can set it in the new database server.
