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
Connect to the
PowerProtect Data Manager console and change to the root user.
Set the environment variables:
source /opt/emc/vmdirect/unit/vmdirect.env
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
