Create or Modify a Credential Vault Profile

You can create a storage-specific Credential Vault Profile to store the access credentials that are required to discover storage devices and storage relationships.

Note: The Credential Vault Profile requires access to the SAN Manager software. CA Configuration Automation gets storage information from the SAN Manager for all devices it manages.

Follow these steps:

  1. In the CA Configuration Automation Server UI, click the Management panel, the Network tab, then the Credential Vault link.
  2. On the Credential Vault Profiles page, create a profile:
    1. From the Table Actions drop-down list, select Create Credential Vault Profiles.
    2. Create a Credential Vault Profile as described in the CA Configuration Automation Online Help.
    3. On the NetApp tab, enter the credentials that are required to access the NettApp OnCommand server, then click Test.

      A confirmation appears if the credentials are valid.

    4. Click Add to add the credentials to the profile.
    5. On the SMI-S tab, enter the credentials that are required to access the SMI-S provider, then click Test.

      Note: EMC Clariion and IBM Storwize V7000 are the only SMI-S storage devices that CA Configuration Automation supports.

      A confirmation appears if the credentials are valid.

    6. On the Windows tab, enter the credentials that are required to access any Windows servers that access storage from the SAN storage devices, then click Test.

      A confirmation appears if the credentials are valid.

    7. On the UNIX tab, enter the credentials that are required to access any UNIX (or VMware ESX) servers that access storage from the SAN storage devices, then click Test.

      A confirmation appears if the credentials are valid.

  3. Click Add to add the credentials to the profile.
  4. Click Finish to create the profile.
  5. On the Credential Vault page, modify an existing profile:
    1. Click an entry in the Profile Name column.
    2. On the details page for the selected profile, click the NetApp or SMI-S tab, edit or add the appropriate credentials, and click Test.

      A confirmation appears if the credentials are valid.

    3. Click Add to add the credentials to the profile, then click Finish to save the profile.
