• 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.

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.
• To delete a credential profile that is used in server discovery, delete the discovered server information
and then delete the credential profile.
• To delete a device type credential profile that is used for deployment, first 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.
To delete a credential profile:
Select the profile that you want to delete, and then click Delete.
