positional arguments:
memsql_id The ID of the SingleStore node.
optional arguments:
--settings-file SETTINGS_FILE
A path to a MemSQL Ops settings.conf file. If not set,
we will use the file in the same directory as the
MemSQL Ops binary.
--async If this option is true, we will exit without waiting
for MemSQL Ops to finish updating the root password.
--no-prompt Skip interactive prompts if ID is not provided. This
should be used for non-interactive scripts and
automation.
-p [PASSWORD], --password [PASSWORD]
The password to use for the root user on the SingleStore
node. Leave blank to read the MEMSQL_PASSWORD
environment variable, or have a password prompt if
MEMSQL_PASSWORD is not set. Note: empty string value
clears the password for root.
--no-confirmation If this option is specified, we will update the root
password without prompting for confirmation.
--force If this is true, we will set the password in MemSQL
Ops even if we cannot currently connect to SingleStore.Notes

To configure the password on all nodes in a SingleStore cluster, run:
memsql-ops memsql-list -q | xargs -n 1 memsql-ops memsql-update-root-password --no-confirmation -p <password> -
