Changing the Password of System Accounts

The management server uses the following accounts to access and manage the database for the

management server. You should change the passwords to these accounts to prevent unauthorized

access.

SYS

- Used for the management server database creation. Default password:

change_on_install

SYSTEM

- Used for management server database creation, in addition to database import,

export and re-initialization. Default password: manager

RMAN_USER

- Used for RMAN backup and restore. This user has sys privilege. Default

password: backup

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

You must change the passwords of the SYS, SYSTEM, RMAN_USER, SIM_MANAGER, and

DB_SYSTEM_USER accounts by using the Database Admin Utility, so the management server is

aware of the changes. Do not change the password for one 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 management server requires the password to have the following characteristics:
