  • You will need to change the password of DBSNMP - what targets.xml?

    Hi all



    We currently have a box of Solaris (sunOS 5.9) acting that has CMS (10.2.0.3) and a repository DB (10.2.0.2) installed on it, as well as the Agent (10.2.0.3).



    He has about 6 target pointing to it (varying in DB level of 10.1 to 10.2). As part of a security audit, we put in place a new password policy, which means changing the dbsnmp < strong > < facilities > password on all databases. Of course, this will affect the GC configuration.



    I know I need to change the targets.xml file but I have the following question:



    on each target, should I put the password for the user dbsnmp on the local target database or the password for the user dbsnmp on the database repository?



    Also, in Chapter 10, point < em > < /em > 2.7.2.1 of the ' 10.2.0.3 Enterprise Manager Advanced Configuration guide "he says that I can just go in GC, chose my database target, < strong > configure < facilities >, enter new password password < strong > monitor < facilities > field, test and submit. Is this just the way of targets.xml edition GUI?



    Thanks in advance,
