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:
a) In the User name text box, edit the user name.
b) In the Password text box, edit the password.
c) 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.
Setting The Default Firmware Update Repository [Wizard]
Firmware repository settings contain the firmware catalog location used to update deployed servers. You can set up
firmware initially here in the wizard or later from the Dell Management Center Settings option. In addition, you can run
the firmware update later from the Dell Server Management tab.
To set the default firmware update repository:
1. In the Configuration Wizard, on the Firmware Repository page, to choose the default repository for firmware
updates, select one of the following:
– Dell Online
Default firmware repository (ftp.dell.com) with a staging folder. The Dell Management Plug-in downloads
selected firmware updates and stores them in the staging folder, and then they are applied as necessary.
– Local/shared repository
These are created with the Dell Repository Manager application. These local repositories should be
located on Windows-based file shares.
2. If you selected Local/shared repository, do the following:
