Step 3. Specify Credentials

In this article

    At the Credentials step of the wizard, specify credentials for the user account with administrator privileges on the HPE 3PAR Web Services API Server.

    1. From the Credentials list, select credentials to connect to the HPE 3PAR Web Services API Server. 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 necessary credentials. For more information, see Managing Credentials.

    Step 3. Specify Credentials Note:

    The user account must have the ‘edit’ user role on the HPE 3PAR Web Services API Server.

    1. When you add the storage system, Veeam Backup & Replication saves a fingerprint of the SSH key of the HPE 3PAR Web Services API Server to the configuration database. During every subsequent connection to the server, Veeam Backup & Replication 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 & Replication 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 & Replication will display an error message, and you will not be able to connect to the server.

    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.
