Host credential profile
A host credential profile stores the iDRAC and host credentials that OMIVV uses to communicate with the servers. OMIVV manages the hosts that are associated to a host credential profile. You can associate multiple servers to a single host credential profile.
The PowerEdge MX chassis host can be managed using a single unified chassis management IP. The hosts present in the PowerEdge MX chassis with an iDRAC IP disabled have to be managed using chassis credential profile. To manage the PowerEdge MX chassis using a chassis credential profile, see Create chassis credential profile. It is recommended that you manage the PowerEdge MX chassis hosts with an iDRAC IP using host credential profile to get complete OMIVV functions.
