Exported Data

The server inventory report contains data that was most recently returned by each Chassis Group member during the Chassis Group

leader’s normal polling (after every 30 seconds).

To get the most accurate server inventory report:

• The Chassis Group leader chassis and all Chassis Group member chassis must be in Chassis Power State On.

• All servers in the associated chassis must be turned on.

The inventory data for the associated chassis and servers may be missing in inventory report, if a subset of the Chassis Group member

chassis are:

• In Chassis Power State Off state

• Turned off

NOTE: If a server is inserted while the chassis is turned off, the model number is not displayed anywhere in the web

interface until the chassis is turned on again.

The following table lists the specific data fields and specific requirements for fields to be reported for each server:
