Symptoms
If a VELOS partition root password is expired or locked, the system may be unable to add the blade to the Openshift cluster (or manage the cluster).
The "show cluster" command output will report that a blade is reachable ("able to ping"), but will not be able to connect to it ("able to SSH"):
