Configuring additional Business Continuity Manager servers or Teradata systems in the Business Continuity Manager environment requires usernames and passwords. Business Continuity Manager uses the bcmPasswd tool to provide these credentials conveniently and securely. Teradata recommends using this tool to collect the usernames and passwords required to install and configure Business Continuity Manager.
- On the primary Business Continuity Manager server, use the bcmPasswd tool.
