Creating credential profile

Consider the following when you are creating a credential profile:

• When a device type credential profile is created, an associated RunAsAccount is created in SC2012

VMM to manage the server and the name of the RunAsAccount is Dell_CredentialProfileName.

– (Recommended) Do not edit or delete the RunAsAccount.

• When no credential profiles are created and no default credential profile for iDRAC is available; During

auto discovery, the default iDRAC factory setting credential profile is used. The default username as

root and password as calvin is used.

To create a credential profile:

1. In DLCI Console Add-in for SC2012 VMM, do any of the following:

• In the dashboard, click Create Credential Profile.

• In the navigation pane, click Profiles and Templates → Credential Profile, and then click Create.

2. In Credential Profile, select the credential profile type that you want to use and provide user

credential details and then click Finish.

NOTE: When creating Device Credential Profile select iDRAC to make it as default profile for

iDRAC, or CMC to make it default for Chassis Management Controller (CMC). Select None if

you chose to not set this profile as a default profile.

Modifying credential profile

Consider the following when you are modifying a credential profile:

• Once created, you cannot modify a credential profile's type. However, you can modify other fields.

Refresh screen to view the modifications.

• You cannot modify a device type credential profile that is used for hypervisor deployment.

To modify a credential profile:

Select the credential profile you want to modify, click Edit and update the profile as required.

Deleting credential profile

Consider the following when you are deleting a credential profile:

• When a device type credential profile is deleted, the associated RunAsAccount from SC2012 VMM is

also deleted.

• When the RunAsAccount in SCV2012 VMM is deleted, the corresponding credential profile is not

available in the appliance.

• You cannot delete a credential profile that is used in server discovery. However, to delete such a

credential profile, delete the discovered server information and then you can delete the credential

profile.

• You cannot delete a device type credential profile if it is used for deployment. However, to delete

such a credential profile, delete the servers deployed in SCVMM environment and then delete the

credential profile.

• You cannot delete a credential profile if it is used in an update source.
