Description
The mxreconfig –m password command realigns the Insight software service account credentials
with the operating system password after the operating system password is changed by other
operatinag system tools. If the user that installed Systems Insight Manager on the CMS changes
the Windows logon password, then the user must also run this command to make all the passwords
associated with HP Insight Software services match the new operating system password.
When this command is run, and the new password is typed and confirmed, all Systems Insight
Manager partner services are stopped in preparation. Your chosen password is then updated on
services that are configured to run using the installing user's credentials. Services running as local
system will not be changed. Stored credentials in Systems Insight Manager for accessing the CMS
are also updated.
NOTE: If the CMS is associated with a locally installed SQL database, then this command also
updates the password on it. If the associated SQL database is remote, then you must also run the
mxreconfig —m dbauth command. For information on the dbauth command, see Reconfigure
CMS Database Authorizations.
The command changes the passwords for, and then restarts, the following services:
• HP Agentless Collection for Linux Systems
• HP Application Discovery
• HP Global Workload Manager Central Management Server
