How do I change the Password used for Datastore in PVE

[IsaacFL]

I have a user created in PBS just for backup. I changed the password via the PBS GUI.

I am unable to change the password in the PVE Datacenter GUI for the Datastore as it wont let me edit the datastore. I ended up deleting the datastore entry and recreating a new one with the new password.

There has to be a better way than that? What is the correct way to update passwords for Backup Server Datastore?

hi,

one way would be to use the 'pvesm' tool:

pvesm set <storage-id> --password

Thanks, @dcsapak ! I really need to study the CLI tools more. The last time I had to adjust a PBS storage entry on a PVE node (to change the hostname), I ended up just editing /etc/pve/storage.cfg directly.

Something tells me I'm not supposed to do that.

same here with CLI tools. I use them so seldomly that I'm always afraid I will mess something up from lack of experience.
