To encrypt the agent password, perform the following steps on any cluster node:

1. Make the VCS configuration writable.

   # haconf -makerw

2. Encrypt the agent password.

   # vcsencrypt -agent -secinfo

3. When prompted, enter the existing password and press Enter.

   The utility encrypts the entered password and displays the encrypted password.

   For example, 7c:a7:4d:75:78:86:07:5a:de:9d:7a:9a:8c:6e:53:c6

4. Modify the required agent attribute to assign the encrypted password.

   c:\>hares -modify <ResourceName>
   					<password_attribute _name> <AES Password>
