Deployment Credential Settings

Deployment credentials are used to securely communicate with a bare-metal system using the iDRAC6 from initial discovery, until the end of the deployment process. Once deployment completes, the credentials are changed to those in the connection profile matched to the bare-metal system from the deployment wizard.


If the deployment credentials are changed, all newly discovered systems from that point on will be provisioned with the new credentials - the credentials on servers discovered prior to the change of credentials are not affected by this change.


The user name should be 16 characters or less (only ASCII printable characters).

The password should be 20 characters or less (only ASCII printable characters).

  1. Select Deployment Credentials under Settings, and click Edit.
