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. Default password:
change_on_install
• SYSTEM - Used for management server database creation, 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 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.
NOTE: You can’t change the password for SIM_MANAGER if you are running HP SIM and
Storage Essentials on Linux in a single-box environment.
The management server requires the password to have the following characteristics:
