About connection profile
The Connection Profiles tab lets you manage and configure connection profiles that contain credentials that are in use by the virtual
appliance to communicate with the Dell EMC servers. Associate each Dell EMC server with only one connection profile for management
by the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter. You can assign multiple servers to a single connection profile. After you run the
Initial Configuration Wizard, you can manage connection profiles from OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter by performing
the following tasks:
• Viewing connection profile
• Creating a connection profile
• Modifying connection profile
• Deleting connection profile
• Testing connection profile
Viewing connection profiles
A connection profile must be created and/or exist before it can be viewed. After one or more connection profiles are created, they can be
viewed in the Connection Profiles page. The OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter uses the credentials provided in the profiles to
communicate with Dell EMC hosts.
1. In OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter, click Manage.
2. Click Profiles and then click Credential Profiles.
3. Expand Credential Profiles and click Connection Profiles tab.
