For an enabled host to interact with the server, a valid host agent security credential must be
present in the replication manager database. See
adding a new enabled
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.
