2. To collect the inventory information, initiate an inventory job and select Collect driver inventory.
The Collect driver inventory option present in the “Default Inventory task” (as well as any other
inventory task created via the Inventory portal) is not enabled by default. To collect driver inventory,
OME pushes two utilities to the target systems: Dell System Update (DSU) and Inventory Collector
(IC). Traditionally, inventory is a read operation which does not involve altering the target system.
Since driver inventory requires DSU and IC to be pushed and installed on target systems, the
workflow requires explicit user opt-in. The “collect driver inventory” only affects server devices
discovered via their host OS.
