Management Controller must be configured for Active Directory based authentication.

6. Click to associate the chassis with the chassis profile.

NOTE: The chassis which are discovered, available, and manually added using Add MX Chassis is associated with the

chassis profile 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 profile, and 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.

The Associated Chassis page is displayed.

9. Test connection is mandatory and runs automatically for the selected chassis.

Test connection runs automatically:

• For the first time after the chassis is selected

• When you change the credentials

• If the chassis is newly selected

NOTE:

For an MX chassis configured with an MCM group, Dell EMC recommends managing all the lead and member

chassis using the lead chassis. The member chassis test connection operation will fail and test result status that is

indicated as Fail. Click the lead chassis IP link to discover the complete MCM group.

The test result is displayed in the Test Result column as Pass or Fail. To test the chassis connectivity manually, select the chassis

and click .

NOTE:

If there are no hosts present in the registered vCenters which are associated to the added MX chassis, the

respective chassis test connection fails.

NOTE: Only successfully validated chassis is associated with a chassis profile.

10. To complete the profile, click Finish.

NOTE: Ensure that you have at least one successfully validated chassis to complete the wizard.

To add an MX chassis management module IP, see Adding an MX Chassis on page 99.
