Use Preferences Editor or dsmc SET PASSWORD -type=VM 'VirtualCenter hostname' 'userid' 'password' to save encrypted password.

Explanation

The VMCPW option was found either in an option file or on the command line. While this method of entry is allowed, it presents a security risk because the password is in plain text and not encrypted.

System action

The option is accepted and the VMC password is used in the current session.

User response

To save the encrypted password, use the Preferences Editor VM Backup panel or the command: dsmc SET PASSWORD -type=VM 'VirtualCenter hostname' 'userid' 'password'
