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 servers. Associate each OMIVV-managed 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 that are 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.

You can view all the connection profiles that you have created.

NOTE:

If an MX host is managed using the chassis IP, the OMIVV indicates it as associated to a chassis profile. For

more information, see Viewing chassis profiles on page 51.
