If the OnCommand Unified Manager root or administrator password has changed

If the root or the administrator password for the OnCommand Unified Manager is changed, you must also perform the following actions:

  • Use the tpconfig command to update the storage server password in NetBackup.

    On Windows:

    Install_path\Veritas\NetBackup\Volmgr\bin\tpconfig -update -storage_server sshostname -stype server_type -sts_user_id UserID -password Password

    On UNIX:

    usr/openv/volmgr/bin/tpconfig -update -storage_server sshostname -stype server_type -sts_user_id UserID -password Password

    The server_type is the vendor-provided string that identifies the type of storage server. In the case of NetApp, enter Network_NTAP.

    Note:

    The server_type is case-sensitive.

  • Restart the NBUPlugin service.

    The processmanager command can be used.

    On Windows:

    Install_path\Program Files\NetApp\NBUPlugin\ProcessManager.exe shutdown

    Install_path\Program Files\NetApp\NBUPlugin\ProcessManager.exe startup

    On UNIX:

    /usr/Netapp/NBUPlugin/processmanager shutdown

    /usr/Netapp/NBUPlugin/processmanager startup

A replication job run after the password has been changed may fail with a status 83 (media open error) or a policy validation error of 4225. However, the job details may indicate that the job ran successfully.
