Setting Server Module Credentials (vSphere Web Client only)

The Server Module Credentials page enables you to manage the credentials for infrastructure
integration and HP management software integration.

Credentials for Platform/Infrastructure Integration

This tab enables you to identify system credentials. Global credentials and individual device
credentials can be entered.

Global Device Credentials

Global Device Credentials can be entered for ESXi, Integrated Lights Out (iLO), Onboard
Administrator (OA), and Virtual Connect (VC).

Use global credentials if your environment uses the same credentials for all or many of the
entities in the infrastructure.

If credentials have not been defined for an entity's IP/Hostname, the global credential, if
defined, is used.

Device Credentials

Use individual device credentials if your environment uses different credentials for each device.
The credentials must be defined for each iLO, OA module, VC module, and VMware host in
your environment.

If global OA and VC credentials are not defined, each OA module and VC module must have
an individual credential entry. This includes secondary OA modules and subordinate VC
modules.

You can add or delete credentials configured for the system.

Add new credentials—Click the Add icon

and enter the credentials.

Delete credentials—Select the appropriate entry and click the Delete icon
