Step 3. Specify Credentials

At the Credentials step of the wizard, specify credentials for the user account with administrator privileges on the HP management group.

  1. From the Credentials list, select credentials to connect to the HP management group. If you have not set up credentials beforehand, click the Manage accounts link or click Add on the right of the Credentials field to add the credentials. For more information, see Managing Credentials.

The user name and password values are case-sensitive.

  1. When you add the storage system, Veeam Backup Free Edition saves a fingerprint of the SSH key of the management server to the Veeam Backup Free Edition database. During every subsequent connection to the server, Veeam Backup Free Edition uses the saved fingerprint to verify the server identity and avoid the man-in-the-middle attack.

To let you identify the server, Veeam Backup Free Edition displays the SSH key fingerprint:

  • If you trust the server and want to connect to it, click Yes.
  • If you do not trust the server, click No. Veeam Backup Free Edition will display an error message, and you will not be able to connect to the server.

Step 3. Specify Credentials Note:

If you update the SSH key on the server, you must acknowledge the new key in the server connection settings. To do this, in the Storage Infrastructure view open the server properties, pass through the Edit Server wizard and click Trust to acknowledge the new key.
