Saving chassis inventory report using CMC web interface
To save the chassis inventory report:
1. In the system tree, go to Server Overview, and then click Update > Server Component Update.
The Server Component Update page is displayed.
2. Click Save Inventory Report.
The Inventory.xml file is saved on an external system.
NOTE: The Dell Repository Manager Application uses the Inventory.xml file as an input to create a repository of
updates for all the blades available in the chassis. This repository can be later exported to a network share. Update
from Network Share mode of firmware update uses this network share to update the components of all the servers.
You must have CSIOR enabled on the individual servers and save the chassis inventory report every time there is a
change to the chassis hardware and software configuration.
