Set Up Blackout Period

Before changing your password on the Oracle FS System account you use with the Oracle Enterprise Manager, you must create a blackout period to prevent Oracle Enterprise Manager from trying to log in to the Oracle FS System while the password is being updated.

Prerequisites:
  • Host name for the Oracle FS System target.

  • Login credentials for the Oracle FS System target.

Your Oracle FS System system administrator can provide this information.

You create a blackout period from the Enterprise pull-down at the Oracle Enterprise Manager page.
  1. Select Enterprise > Monitoring > Blackouts.
  2. Select Create.
  3. Enter a Name for the blackout period. For example, Oracle FS System password change.
  4. From the Reason pull-down, select Apps: Application Password Change.
  5. Uncheck the Run jobs during the blackout... box to disable jobs from being run from OEM. You do not want any jobs running during the blackout period as any job running from OEM to the Oracle FS System can cause login issues during a password change.
  6. Under Targets select Add. Locate theOracle Flash Storage System you are creating the blackout period for to change the administrator password.
  7. Select the Select box next to the Oracle Flash Storage System you selected.
  8. Select Next and enter the schedule information.
  9. Select Finish to create the blackout schedule.
A blackout is created and begins based on the schedule you created. For more information on blackout periods, review the Oracle Enterprise Manager online help for additional information.
After the blackout schedule is created, go to the Oracle FS System and change the administrator password during the blackout period.
