How to change credentials for Data Domain storage server

Hi there,

I am not finding it easy to read about password change for the account that was used to create the storage server entry for a Data Domain (OST). How can I do this?

Additionally.. Is there a way (CLI preferred) to test connectivity to a Data Domain from a NetBackup Media server?

Thanks! :)

    Thanks a lot, Nicolai. Noted.

    Just to avoid going to the tech note I posted, it boils down (in this case) to:

    tpconfig -update -storage_server <storage_server_name> -stype DataDomain -sts_user_id <user_name> -password <new_password>

    Cheers

    Good tech note by pep-e

    The easiest method to test for connectivity is to run a "inventory" of the disk pool from the GUI. If it works - you are in business
