Creating chassis prole
A chassis prole is required to monitor the chassis. A chassis credential prole can be created and associated with single or multiple chassis.
About this task
You can log in to iDRAC and the host using Active Directory credentials.
Steps
1 In OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter, click Manage.
2 Click Proles, and then click Credential Proles.
3 Expand Credential Proles, and click the Chassis Proles tab.
4 In the Chassis Proles page, click the icon to create a New Chassis Prole.
5 In the Chassis Prole Wizard page, do the following:
In the Name and Credentials section, under Chassis Prole:
a In the Prole Name text box, enter the prole name.
b In the Description text box, enter description, which is optional.
Under the Credentials section:
a In the User Name text box, type the user name with administrative rights, which is typically used to log in 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

NOTE
: The credentials can be a local or the Active Directory credentials. Before using the Active Directory credentials with
a Chassis Prole, the Active Directory user’s account must exist in Active Directory and the Chassis Management Controller
must be congured for Active Directory based authentication.
6 Click to associate the chassis with the chassis prole.
NOTE
: The chassis which are discovered, available, and manually added using Add MX Chassis is associated with the
chassis prole only after the successful inventory run of any modular host present under that chassis.
7 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 prole, and then a warning message is displayed, stating that the selected chassis is
associated with a prole.
For example, you have a prole Test associated with Chassis A. If you create another prole Test 1 and try to associate Chassis A to
Test 1, a warning message is displayed.
8 Click OK.
The Associated Chassis page is displayed.
