Post-installation tasks

The tasks that are described in the following topics are optional and can be performed after the initial installation:

  • Change the database password.

    See Changing the NetBackup database password.

Commands and utilities for administering the NetBackup databases

Note:

Using the database administration utilities to administer the NetBackup database can potentially break the consistency between the NetBackup catalog and the database. This loss of consistency can lead to loss of data. Only use these utilities and commands with assistance of Cohesity Technical Support.

The following utilities are available to administer the databases.

See Using the NetBackup Database Administration utility on Windows.
