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.

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:

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.
