GUI – Setting the VASA credentials

The VASA credentials comprise a username and a password that is set separately from the Spectrum Control user accounts, and separately from the storage array credentials.

About this task

VMware vCenter servers can use the VASA credentials to connect to Spectrum Control and utilize VASA functions, as explained in Registering Spectrum Control as a storage provider in vCenter Server.

From the Spectrum Control GUI you can set, change, or display these VASA credentials at any time.

Note: Only one set of a username and a password can be used for the VASA credentials, which applies to all vCenter servers that require VASA functions and connect to Spectrum Control. The same operations are available from the CLI as well, as explained in CLI – Setting the VASA credentials.

1. Click VASA Credentials on the Settings menu. The VASA Credentials dialog box is displayed.

   

2. Enter the required username and password of the VASA Secret that you want to set, and then click Apply.
