Enhancements
• StoreOnce VSA is now qualified on Backup Exec 2012. However, it is recommended that the
total number of jobs from Backup Exec should not exceed 16 in number. For example, a maximum
of 12 backup jobs and 4 copy jobs can be run at a given time.
• The HPresetpassword account provides a method for the local Admin user to recover the default
password. This account, with the username, HPresetpassword, is only available from the StoreOnce
CLI and it allows this user to log in via the Virtual Machine console and change:
◦ The local Admin account back to its factory default password (admin)
◦ The password of the HPresetpassword account.
This account is not accessible via a remote ssh session.
IMPORTANT: It is strongly recommended that the password for the HPresetpassword account
is changed immediately after installation of the new software. The new password should be strong
and memorable. See “Related documentation” (page 5) for instructions on managing the
HPresetpassword account.
