A Quick Tour of CA SRM › Registering a Virtual Host VMware Server › Setting Telnet Credentials

Setting Telnet Credentials

The telnet credentials are used to get the space details of the ESX server and to get snapshot details. You can set telnet credentials for some or all the VHS servers listed in the Devices managed by the Virtual Center/Virtual Host Server dialog.

Note: These credentials are optional.

Follow these steps:

1. Provide the following information in the Telnet Credentials dialog.

   IP Address:

   Specifies the IP address or the name of the selected VHS server. If you have selected multiple VHS servers, this field displays all of them with Semicolon separated list and these addresses cannot be modified.

   Username:

   Specifies the user name for telnet or ssh login.

   Password:

   Specifies the password for telnet or ssh login.

2. Select either Telnet or ssh check boxes if you want to use telnet or ssh for the connection.
3. Click OK.

   The credentials are verified for each of the selected VHS.
