Test connection runs automatically:

● For the first time after the chassis is selected

● When you change the credentials

● If the chassis is newly selected

The test result is displayed in the Test Results section as Passed or Failed. To test the chassis connectivity manually,

select the chassis and click BEGIN TEST.

For a PowerEdge 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 fails and test result status is indicated as Fail.

The lead chassis IP link is displayed. Click the lead chassis IP link to discover the complete MCM group.

NOTE: If there are no hosts present in the registered vCenters which are associated to the added PowerEdge MX

chassis, the respective chassis test connection fails.

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

5. Click FINISH.

Ensure that you have at least one successfully validated chassis to complete the tasks in the wizard.

To add a PowerEdge MX chassis, see Add PowerEdge MX Chassis on page 107.

View chassis credential profile

After you create one or more chassis credential profiles, you can view the chassis and the associated chassis on the chassis

credential profile page.

1. On the OMIVV home page, click Compliance & Deployment > Chassis Credential Profile.

A table displays all the chassis credential profile along with the following information:

● Profile Name—The name of the chassis credential profile

● Description—Profile description

● Chassis IP/Host Name—The chassis IP or hostname link

For a Multi-chassis Management (MCM) group, the lead chassis (

) and the member chassis ( ) are listed in

hierarchy.

NOTE:

For an PowerEdge MX chassis in an MCM configuration, OMIVV manages all the lead and member chassis

using lead chassis only. All the lead and members are associated to the same chassis credential profile to which lead

chassis is associated.

For a member chassis in the MCM group where IPv4 is disabled, an IPv4 address of the lead is displayed with the Service

Tag of the member chassis in parentheses.

● Chassis Service Tag—The unique identifier that is assigned to a chassis.

● Date Modified—The date when the chassis credential profile is modified.

2. The following information about the associated hosts is displayed in the lower grid:

● Profile Name

● Associated Hosts

● Service Tag
