• 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.

Creating hardware profile

You can create a hardware profile by using a server with golden configuration and then using that profile to apply hardware

configurations to managed systems.

Before you apply hardware configurations to managed systems, confirm that the managed systems are identical to the server with

the golden configuration on the following parameters:

• Components available

• Server model

• RAID controller

• Disks:

– Number of disks

– Size of disks

– Type of disks

NOTE: Once you upgrade from DLCI for SCVMM version 1.0.1 to version 1.2, edit and save the hardware profiles created

in DLCI for SCVMM version 1.2 before you apply them on servers.
