The SVP IP address, user name, and password are saved in P9000 Performance Advisor database.
P9000 Performance Advisor also uses these credentials to validate the connection with the P9000

NOTE:
On a few occasions, the SVP IP address, user name, and password are not saved. It might
be because the SVP is offline. Wait for a few minutes and try again.
5. Click Register.
The SVP IP address that was saved is also registered with the management station.
The Register button is disabled if you do not click Save Credentials first.
The SVP IP address and RWC user name and password are used whenever you enable authentication

information on data collection, see “Collecting configuration data” on page 59 and “Performance
data” on page 68.
