nnmchangedbpw.ovpl — change the user name and password used to authenticate with the NNMi database.
Use the nnmchangedbpw.ovpl script to change the user name and password NNMi uses to connect to the database.
This script is useful when database passwords expire, or if you need to change the database user name. Before running this script, run the
ovstop command to stop NNMi.
To avoid adverse behavior after changing the database user name and password, you must stop NNMi before running the
nnmchangedbpw.ovpl script. You can run this script while NNMi is running, but any new database
connections created by NNMi fail during authentication.
You must be logged in as administrator on Windows systems or root on
UNIX systems to run this script.
Use the nnmchangedbpw.ovpl script if your organization requires frequent password changes for the
NNMi database, or to change the user name NNMi uses to connect to the NNMi database.
The nnmchangedbpw.ovpl script does not display the password as you type it in.
When using the nnmchangedbpw.ovpl script, you should see the following messages:
# nnmchangedbpw.ovpl
