Configuring Dell Chassis Management Controller feature for Correlating Server Modules

with Chassis Slot Summary

To configure CMC feature for correlating server modules, create Run As Accounts and associate it to Run

As Profiles to populate chassis slot summary.

1. Create a Run As Account of type Simple Authentication that has privileges to connect to the CMC

module on the chassis. Also, use Basic or Digest Run As Account types for configuring the user

credentials.

2. Select the More Secure or Less Secure option in Run As Account configuration, so that you can

selectively distribute the configuration to specific management servers.

For information on creating a Run As Account of type Simple Authentication, see the “Creating A

Simple Authentication Run As Account” section of Dell Server Management Pack Suite Version 6.1 for
