Configuring the Deployment Credentials [Wizard]

Deployment credentials are used to securely communicate with a bare-metal system, using the iDRAC 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 are provisioned with the new credentials; however, the credentials on servers discovered prior to the change are not affected.

To configure the deployment credentials:

  1. In the Deployment Credential window you can view or change the credentials. The bare— metal server switches from these credentials to those specified in the Connection Profile.

  2. To change these credentials, under Credentials for Bare Metal Server Deployment, do the following:

    1. In the User name text box, edit the user name.

    2. In the Password text box, edit the password.

    3. In the Verify Password, text box, confirm the password.

  3. To save the specified credentials and continue with the Configuration Wizard, click Save and Continue.
