•DB_SYSTEM_USER — Used for all the database activity, including establishing a connection to the management server database. Default password: password

•SIM_MANAGER — Used for all HP SIM activity, including the HP SIM schema, maintenance, and login. Default password: quake

To change the passwords of the SYS, SYSTEM, RMAN_USER, SIM_MANAGER, and

DB_SYSTEM_USER accounts, you must use the Database Admin Utility, so the management server is aware of the changes. Do not change the password for any of these accounts by using Oracle. Make sure you keep the new passwords in a safe location, as it is your responsibility to remember the Oracle passwords.

IMPORTANT: If HP SIM and Storage Essential are using the same Oracle database, you must not only use the Database Admin Utility to change the password, but you must also use the mxpassword command to change the password as described in the following steps.

You must provide the same SIM_MANAGER password for the mxpassword command and the Database Admin Utility.

NOTE: You can’t change the password for SIM_MANAGER if you are running HP SIM and Storage Essentials on Linux in a single-box environment.

The password requirements for the management server are:

•Must have a minimum of three characters

•Must start with a letter

•May contain only letters, numbers and underscores (_)

•May not start or end with an underscore (_)

To change the password of a system account:

1.If you are changing the SIM_MANAGER password and HP SIM and HP SE are using the same Oracle database, you must complete the following steps.:

a.Log onto the server running HP Systems Insight Manager.

b.Stop the AppStorManager service if it is started.

c.Enter the following at the command prompt:

C:\> mxpassword -m -x MxDBUserPassword=mynewPass

where mynewPass is your new password for the database.

d.Stop the HP Systems Insight Manager service so that it cannot access the database. It is very important that the HP Systems Insight Manager service does not access the database before you are finished with changing the password for the database.

2.Access the Database Admin Utility.

3.Click Change Passwords in the left pane.

4.Select an account name from the User Name box.
