Solutions Manager installation guide and HP StorageWorks Replication Solutions Manager administrator guide. For an enabled host to interact with the server, a valid host agent security credential must be present in the replication manager database. See setting security credentials for enabled hosts and adding a new enabled host. IMPORTANT: If a valid security credential is not entered or if the credential expires or is changed, the replication manager (GUI, jobs, and CLUI) will not be able to interact with the enabled host. Host agent security credentials (user name and password) must be provided for the following cases: • New enabled host. To add a new enabled host to the replication manager database, an administrator must enter a valid security credential. • Changed credentials. To update the security credential that is saved in the database, an administrator must enter a new security credential. • Imported RSM database. After importing an RSM database that includes enabled hosts, an administrator must re-enter the security credentials. Password change considerations Administrators should carefully plan and coordinate host agent security credential changes with replication manager operations. For example, if the security policy in your environment is to reset passwords every six months, consider that such changes can result in enabled hosts not interacting with the replication manager server. This can lead to the following: • Jobs that interact with impacted enabled host do not validate or fail while running. • CLUI commands that interact with impacted enabled host fail. • Enabled host and host volume information is not updated in the server. • Oracle database information is not updated in the replication manager server. Security credentials for Oracle databases For the replication manager to interact with an Oracle application, an account for the replication manager must be established by an Oracle database administrator. See the HP StorageWorks Replication Solutions Manager installation guide and HP StorageWorks Replication Solutions Manager administrator guide. For the replication manager to interact with an Oracle database, a valid security credential for the database must be present in the replication manager database. See setting security credentials for Oracle databases. IMPORTANT: If a valid security credential is not entered or if the credential expires or is changed, the replication manager (GUI and jobs) will not be able to interact with the Oracle database. Oracle database security credentials (user name and password) must be provided for the following cases: • New Oracle database. To add a new Oracle database to the replication manager database, an administrator must enter a valid security credential. • Changed credentials. To update the security credential that is saved in the database, an administrator must enter a new security credential in the Set Credentials window. • Imported RSM database. After importing an RSM database that includes Oracle resources, an administrator must re-enter the security credentials. 70 Replication resources
