Credential button. Select Show Advanced Credentials, select the VME tab and provide
the vCenter credentials.
b. The credentials will be set and will trigger a discovery over the node again, which will

Neither Insight managed system setup wizard nor configure/repair agents works in “Lockdown
Enabled” mode.
4. Migration from “Lockdown Disabled” to “Lockdown Enabled” resets the credentials.
