Changing the cms password – HP Systems Insight Manager User Manual
Page 90
When this command is run, and the new password is typed and confirmed, all Systems Insight
Manager partner services are stopped in preparation.
The password entered is then updated on services that are configured to run using the installing
user's credentials. Services running as local system will not be changed. Stored credentials in
Systems Insight Manager for accessing the CMS are also updated.
NOTE:
If the CMS is associated with a locally installed SQL database, then this command also
updates the password for it. If the associated SQL database is remote, then you must also run the
mxreconfig —m dbauth
command. This option is only support on Systems Insight Manager.
The command changes the passwords for, and then restarts, the following services:
•
HP Agentless Collection for Linux Systems
•
HP Application Discovery
•
HP Global Workload Manager Central Management Server
•
HP Insight Control server migration Application Service
•
HP Insight Control server migration Web Service
•
HP Insight Control virtual machine management
•

•

•

This command does not work with HP Insight Control server deployment. See the HP
Insight Control Server Deployment 6.3 User Guide for more information.
