following steps:

1. In the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter, select Manage > Profiles > Credential Profiles > Chassis Profile.

2. In the Chassis Profiles page, click on the Plus (+) icon to create a New Chassis Profile.

3. In the Chassis Profile Wizard page, do the following:

a) In the Profile Name text box, enter the profile name.

b) In the Description text box, enter an optional description.

4. Under Credentials do the following:

a) In the User Name text box, type the user name with administrative rights, which is typically used to log on to the Chassis

Management Controller.

b) In the Password text box, type the password for the corresponding user name.

c) In the Verify Password text box, enter the same password you have entered in the Password text box. The passwords must

match.

NOTE:

The credentials can be a local or active directory credentials. Before using the Active Directory credentials

with a Chassis Profile, the Active Directory user’s account must exist in Active Directory and the Chassis

Management Controller must be configured for Active Directory based authentication.

5. Click Next.

The Select Chassis page is displayed which shows all the available chassis.

NOTE:

Chassis will be discovered and available to be associated with the Chassis Profile only after the successful

inventory run of any modular host present under that chassis.

6. To select either an individual chassis or multiple chassis, select the corresponding check boxes next to the IP/Host Name column.

If the selected chassis is already a part of another profile then a warning message is displayed, stating that the selected chassis is

associated with a profile.

For example, you have a profile Test associated with Chassis A. If you create another profile Test 1 and try to associate Chassis A to

Test 1 , a warning message is displayed.
