Modifying a Single IP Address Entry for Discovery
You can change the user name and password the software uses to access an element. Whenever a
user name and/or password has changed on an element the management server monitors, the
management server must be made aware of the change. For example, assume the password for a
host was changed. You would need to updated the management server database with the new
password.
IMPORTANT: These steps only change the user name and password stored in the database for HP
SIM or HP SE. It does not change the device's user name and password.
