Creating chassis profile
A chassis profile is required to monitor the chassis. A chassis credential profile can be created and associated with single or
multiple chassis.
You can log in to iDRAC and the host using Active Directory credentials.
1. In OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter, click Manage.
2. Click Profiles, and then click Credential Profiles.
3. Expand Credential Profiles, and click the Chassis Profiles tab.
4. In the Chassis Profiles page, click the
icon to create a New Chassis Profile.
5. In the Chassis Profile Wizard page, do the following:
In the Name and Credentials section, under Chassis Profile:
a. In the Profile Name text box, enter the profile name.
b. In the Description text box, enter description, which is optional.
Under the Credentials section:
a. In the User Name text box, type the user name with administrative rights, which is typically used to log in to the Chassis
Management Controller.
b. In the Password text box, type the password for the corresponding user name.
c. In the Verify Password text box, enter the same password you have entered in the Password text box. The passwords
must match.
NOTE: The credentials can be a local or the Active Directory credentials. Before using the Active Directory credentials
with a Chassis Profile, the Active Directory user’s account must exist in Active Directory and the Chassis 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.
8. Click OK.
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.
