Credentials management

ASM requires a root-level user name and password to access and manage chassis, servers, switch, VMware vCenter, and storage.

  • NOTE: To access any Dell resource, the default root-level user name is root, and the default password is calvin. It is recommended to change the password; however, the user name for root-level credentials in ASM must remain root.
  • NOTE: The Dell default credentials are not available for Dell Compellent Storage Center and Dell EqualLogic Storage. You must create credentials to access these Dell resources. To create credentials for the storage resource types, in the left pane, click Settings, and then click Credential Management.
The Credentials Management page displays the following information about the credentials:

  • Name — User-defined name that identifies the credentials.

  • Type — Type of resource that uses the credential.

  • Resources — Total number of resources to which the credential is assigned.

From the credential list, click a credential to view its details in the  Summary tab:

  • Name of the user who created and modified the credential.

  • Date and time that the credential was created and last modified.

On the Credentials Management page, you can:

  • Create New Credentials

  • Edit Existing Credentials

  • Delete Existing Credentials
