HP Application Recovery Manager software A.06.10 Installation and licensing guide (March 2008)
Emergency passwords are issued by the support organization. They must be
requested by and are issued only to HP personnel. Please refer to your support
contact or to the HP Licensing site at: http://webware.hp.com.
The purpose of an emergency password is to enable the backup operation while
the original system configuration gets reconstructed or until you move to a new
permanent installation. In case of moving the licenses, you need to fill out the
License Move Form and send it to the HP Password Delivery Center (PDC) or go
to the web page http://webware.hp.com where passwords can be generated,
moved, and so on.
The recommended way of obtaining passwords is by using the HP OpenView AutoPass
utility, which can be installed during the Cell Manager installation process. Refer to
“Obtaining and installing permanent passwords using HP OpenView AutoPass” on page
141 for instructions on how to obtain passwords using the HP OpenView AutoPass
utility after it has been installed during the Cell Manager installation process.
Refer to “Other ways of obtaining and installing permanent passwords” on page
142 for instructions on how to obtain and install a password by means other than HP
OpenView AutoPass utility.
