Should we know the randomly generated database password?
I was reading this post:
that quoted from the admin guide:
"Changing the NetBackup database password
The database password is set to a randomly generated password upon installation."
Is that a password I would have seen and should have recorded at the time? (I dont recall seeing a password or I think I would have saved it).
The reason I ask is that I had to run a command that needed the password - so I had to run the utility to set it to somthing I knew. ('nbusql' not longer worked).
Makes me wonder what other shops do.
I'm saying, they have to give some password, but if they make it "password" then every Tom, Dick and Harry knows its "password" or "nbusql" as it used to be. Not even Veritas know the password, its not shown anywhere. The hash of it would be in the server.conf file (if i recall correctly).
If support needs to connect they'll change it to something and connect. Whether you remember it or not is irrelevant since you can just update / reset it when you want to. But as I said, you need to be on the master to do so.
