See ”Step 1 — Discovering Your Hosts and Backup Manager Hosts” on page 83, then set up the configurations for your applications on the management server. Some applications may require you to provide additional discovery information about the application. Finally, perform discovery and then run Discovery Data Collection. Discovery Data Collection takes some time. Perform this step when the network is not busy. More details about the steps mentioned above are provided later.

Creating Custom Passwords on Managed Database Instances

Depending on the password policy, SQL Server 2005 may require that passwords be alphanumeric. For this reason, a managed SQL Server 2005 database instance might not accept the default managed database password (password) during APPIQ_USER creation. A script is provided to input an alphanumeric password for SQL Server 2005. For all other applications, this script is optional.

Because the management server uses a single password for managing all types of databases, the script for specifying a custom password is provided for each managed database type (SQLServer, Oracle, Sybase, and Caché). If the password is changed on any managed database instance, you should run the respective custom password scripts for each of the other managed database instances, and specify the same password.

The script names for each database type are as follows: Table 11 Script Names for Managed Databases

After changing the password on all managed database instances, the password must be changed on the Storage Essentials management server. To change the password on the Storage Essentials management server:
