Configure deployment credentials

About this task

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 OS deployment is complete.

After the OS 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.

Steps

  1. On the OMIVV home page, click Settings > Appliance Settings > Deployment Credentials.
  2. Enter the user name and password. The default user name is root and password is calvin.
    Ensure that you provide only the iDRAC supported characters and iDRAC local credentials.
  3. Click APPLY.
