Users Guide

The Associated Hosts page is displayed.

3. To add or remove the hosts from the associated hosts list, on the Associated Hosts page, click ADD HOST.

NOTE: Do not add a PowerEdge MX server with a disabled iDRAC IPv4 to a host credential profile. These servers are

managed using a chassis credential profile.

The selected hosts are displayed on the Associated Hosts page.

4. To test the connection, select one or more hosts, and then click BEGIN TEST. Dell EMC recommends that you test the

connection for all configured hosts.

NOTE: Even after entering valid credentials, the test connection operation may fail for host, and a message is displayed

indicating that invalid credentials are entered. This issue is observed if ESXi is blocking the access. Multiple attempts to

connect the ESXi by using incorrect credentials blocks you from accessing ESXi for 15 minutes. Wait 15 minutes and

retry the operation.

● To stop the test connection, click ABORT TEST.

You can view the test connection results in the TEST RESULTS section.

NOTE: If the WBEM service is disabled for any hosts running ESXi 6.5 or later versions, WBEM is automatically enabled

when you perform the test connection or while running inventory on those hosts.

5. Click Finish.

NOTE: The Date Modified and Last Modified By fields include changes that you perform through the vSphere Client

interface for a host credential profile. Any changes that the OMIVV appliance performs on the respective host credential

profiles do not affect these two fields.
