PowerProtect Data Manager 19.10 Security Configuration Guide

Get protection engine or Search Engine node credentials

The management tools for protection engines and Search Engine nodes are provided with PowerProtect Data Manager. Use the management tools to get credentials for these components.

About this task

The term protection engines here includes VM Direct engines, NAS protection engines, and Kubernetes protection engines.

Steps

  1. Connect to the PowerProtect Data Manager console and change to the root user.
  2. Set the environment variables:
    source /opt/emc/vmdirect/unit/vmdirect.env
  3. Obtain the protection engine credentials:

    /opt/emc/vmdirect/bin/vproxymgmt get -secret

    For environments with many protection engines, you can specify a protection engine ID to narrow the results:

    /opt/emc/vmdirect/bin/vproxymgmt get -vproxy_id <id> -secret

    Total '2' vProxies VMs available.

  4. Obtain the Search Engine node credentials:

    /opt/emc/vmdirect/bin/infranodemgmt get -secret

    For environments with many Search Engine nodes, you can specify a Search Engine node ID to narrow the results:

    /opt/emc/vmdirect/bin/infranodemgmt get -node_id <id> -secret

    Total '1' node VMs available.
    
    Node ID: 14c16c75-2c8b-4dff-b93c-d95bdba5a1f6
