Security updates to the NetBackup database

As a part of security changes in NetBackup, Veritas may make changes to your NetBackup (NBDB) database password. If you changed the password on the NetBackup database from the default value, no changes to the password are made. Any existing NetBackup databases which still have the default password are updated with a new, randomly generated password. All new installations of NetBackup have a randomly generated password assigned to the NetBackup database for improved security. This password is not provided to the user during installation or upgrade. You can use the nbdb_admin command to change this randomly generated password. See the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide for more information about the nbdb_admin command.
