Editing Open Systems SnapVault properties

You can change the NetApp Host Agent password or the NDMP credentials for the Open Systems SnapVault hosts that are managed by NetApp Management Console.

Before you begin

If you are editing an Open Systems SnapVault host that resides on a VMware ESX 3.5 server, see the guidelines for editing an Open Systems SnapVault host on a VMware ESX 3.5 server.

You must be authorized to perform all the steps of this task; your RBAC administrator can confirm your authorization in advance.

Steps

  1. From the menu bar, click Hosts > OSSV.
  2. Select an Open Systems SnapVault host name from the host list.

    If you have hosts that use the same user name and password, you can select multiple hosts to configure the same credentials on all the selected hosts.

  3. Click Edit to open the properties sheet for the selected host.

    Note: The default NetApp Host Agent user name is "admin", which cannot be changed.

  4. Verify that the changes you made to the host have been implemented.

    You can view the properties information provided under Hosts > OSSV.

Result

The NDMP credentials for the selected host are updated in the DataFabric Manager database. It might take several minutes for the updated status to be reflected in the NDMP Credentials field for the selected host.
