RHEL 7 works fine with it. I have that running in my environment. (well, CentOS at least)
# xcp
XCP 1.6.1; (c) 2021 NetApp, Inc.; Licensed to Justin Parisi [NetApp Inc] until Mon Mar 22 09:22:27 2021
# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804 (Core)
The issue is likely related to this:
Try the steps in that above and see if it lets you reset the password. Also, make sure things like SELinux and the firewall are disabled:
# sestatus
SELinux status: disabled
# service firewalld status
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status firewalld.service
● firewalld.service - firewalld - dynamic firewall daemon
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/firewalld.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
Docs: man:firewalld(1)
The reason they’re pushing you towards RHEL8 is this:

I was recently trying to install XCP 1.6.1 and 1.6.2 on CentOS 7.8 but keep getting error related to “central” user password mismatch while configuring its Analytics part. NetApp support kept saying to try this on RHEL 8 but we don’t have
RHEL8 in our environment. Any of you faced same behavior with XCP Analytics install?

It’s also officially supported by NetApp now as of version 1.5. That means you can call in for help and development is actively ongoing.

Thanks brother. I did find it, and realize that I was really just being a knucklehead of enormous proportions.

While email attachments are a popular and convenient way to send documents, they are also a common source of viruses. Use caution when opening attachments,
even if they appear to have been sent by someone you know.

Yup. I was missing something obvious. D’oh!
Given the current state of things here in the good ‘ole USA, I consider my oversight entirely understandable, since my mind really hasn’t been straight since 09/11/2016, and things really got, distracting shall we say, last week.

I can no longer find the executable. Searches only deliver support requests or documentation links.
Links such as:
https://mysupport.netapp.com/products/p/xcp.html, redirect to
https://mysupport.netapp.com/site/downloads, where it’s nowhere to be found.
Yes, I could renew my license. But while searching just to see if the installation files for SMB or the tarball was current, I came up empty.
Am I missing something obvious?
