the appliance. You can configure DNS in the network settings by navigating to the Console tab in your
vSphere client for the Dell Management Plug-in VMware vSphere, and logging into the appliance using
your Dell Management Plug-in administrator password.
Test the share location and credentials using the Begin Test button, which attempts to connect to the
share using the information provided. Once the credentials check is passing, select Apply to save
changes.
The Dell Management Plug-in for VMware vCenter is now configured to use the local share repository.
