HP Systems Insight Manager 6.3 Command Line Interface Guide

Option specifies verbose output, which provides extra visual task progression output to the console.
Description
The mxreconfig —m dbauth —a db-user-name command enables you to change the
credentials Systems Insight Manager uses to access the CMS database. In other words, if the user
name used to logon to the database associated with Systems Insight Manager must be changed,
use this command to change the user name that Systems Insight Manager uses to access the
database. When this command is run, you are prompted for the new password for specified
database user name.
IMPORTANT: This command is applicable to Systems Insight Manager only. If you have used
the mxreconfig –m password, and the database associated with Systems Insight Manager is
locally installed, you do not need to run the dbauth command; the access credentials will have
been already updated. Use the dbauth command when you have not run the password command
and then only when the associated database is remote.
The dbauth command does the following:
• Stops all installed Systems Insight Manager partner services.
• Changes the database user name and password HP SIM uses to access the associated
database.
• Restarts all installed Systems Insight Manager partner services.
