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 and upgrade. Default password:
change_on_install
• SYSTEM - Used for management server database creation and upgrade, 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 dbadmin.bat tool, 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.
The management server requires the password to have the following characteristics:
• a minimum of three characters
• starts with a letter
• contains only letters, numbers and underscores (_)
• does 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.
