nnmchangeembdbpw.ovpl — change the password used to authenticate with the NNMi embedded database.
Use the nnmchangeembdbpw.ovpl script to change the password NNMi uses to connect to the
embedded database. This script is useful if you installed NNMi with the embedded database option. Only use this script if you want to
change the default password that was created for the embedded database during installation. If you do not run this script,
NNMi functions normally.
The nnmchangeembdbpw.ovpl script requires that NNMi is stopped and nmsdbmgr is running.
It will automatically bring the system to this state if necessary, i.e. automatically running
ovstop followed by ovstart nmsdbmgr.
After the nnmchangeembdbpw.ovpl script finishes, the embedded database password is changed to the
value supplied through the interactive prompts, and the NNMi management server is reconfigured to use the new password to connect to the
database.
You must be logged in as administrator on Windows systems or root on
UNIX systems to run the nnmchangeembdbpw.ovpl script.
Use the nnmchangeembdbpw.ovpl script if your organization requires frequent password changes for the
NNMi embedded database.
The nnmchangeembdbpw.ovpl script does not display the password as you type it in.
When using the nnmchangeembdbpw.ovpl script, you should see the following messages:
# nnmchangeembdbpw.ovpl
WARNING: Stop NNMi and all NNMi processes before running this tool.
Failure to stop NNMi could result in unexpected database failures.
After stopping NNMi, run ovstart nmsdbmgr to start only the database.
Have you stopped NNM (ovstop)? [n] y
Thank you!
