Hi,

I noticed "#ERROR Failed to get VMguest password for datacenter HU
DATACENTER." in your email, and this indicated that VM guest OS credential
was not set in your environment. This step is required so that the scan
operation can authenticate to each vm guest machine before our scan code
is injected to vms. Currently, the administrator who installs/configures
TSM DP for VMware is expected to define a single user/password to be used
for all vms in a vCenter (for the purpose of scan).

There are two ways to configure the vm guest credential for a vCenter:

Method 1. from the DP for VMware GUI
Use the configuration wizard, you can find "Scan Password" under
"Configuration Settings)

Method 2.
>From the machine where tsmcli command-line is installed, run the following
command:

vmcli -f set_password -type VMGuest -I password.txt

password.txt is an input text file with data center/user/password
information. "datacentername", "username", and "password" are predefined
keywords. Below is an example of entries in a password.txt file:

datacentername:My DataCenter 1 username:MyWindowsDomain1\scanuser1
password:secretpw1
datacentername:My DataCenter 2 username:MyWindowsDoamin22\scanuser1
password:secretpw2
datacentername:My DataCenter 3 username:scanuser1 password:secretpw3
