Configure deployment credentials
OMIVV acts as a provisioning server. The deployment credentials enable you to communicate with iDRAC that uses the OMIVV
plugin as a provisioning server in the auto discovery process. The deployment credentials enable you to set up iDRAC credentials
to communicate securely with a bare-metal server that is discovered using auto discovery until the operating system
deployment is complete.
After the operating system deployment process is successfully complete, OMIVV changes the iDRAC credentials as provided in
the host credential profile. If you change the deployment credentials, all newly discovered systems using auto discovery are
provisioned with the new iDRAC credentials from that point onwards. However, the credentials on servers that are discovered
before the change of deployment credentials are not affected by this change.
1. On the OMIVV home page, click Settings > Appliance Settings > Deployment Credentials.
2. Enter the username and password. The default username is root and password is calvin.
Ensure that you enter the password based as per iDRAC user password policy set in iDRAC. Also, ensure to use iDRAC
supported characters.
3. Click APPLY.
Override severity of health update notification
You can configure to override the existing severity of the Dell Proactive HA events for the Dell EMC host and its components
with customized severity, which is aligned to your environment.
The following are the severity levels that apply to each of the Proactive HA events:

NOTE: You cannot customize the severity of the Proactive HA components with the Info severity level.

event description, component type, default severity, and override severity column for customizing the severity of the host
and its components.
2. To change severity of a host or its component, in the Override Severity column, select the required status from the drop-
down list.
This policy applies to all the Proactive HA hosts across all vCenter servers that are registered with OMIVV.
3. Repeat step 2 for all the events that must be customized.
4. Perform any one of the following actions:
a. To save the customization, click APPLY.
