Managing device inventory

NOTE: To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise–Tech Release, you must have necessary user privileges. See

Role-based OpenManage Enterprise–Tech Release user privileges.

By clicking OpenManage Enterprise > Monitor > Inventory, you can generate a device inventory report to better manage your data

center, reduce maintenance, maintain minimum stock, and reduce operational costs. By using the Inventory Schedules feature in

OpenManage Enterprise–Tech Release, you can schedule jobs to run at predefined time, and then generate reports. You can schedule

inventory jobs on the 12th generation and later PowerEdge servers, networking devices, PowerEdge chassis, EqualLogic arrays,

Compellent Arrays, and PowerVault devices.

On this page, you can create, edit, run, stop, or delete inventory schedules. A list of existing inventory schedule jobs is displayed.

• NAME: The inventory schedule name.

• SCHEDULE: Indicates if the job is scheduled to run now or later.

• LAST RUN: Indicates the time the job was last run.

• STATUS: Indicates if the job is running, completed, or failed.

NOTE: On the Discovery and Inventory Schedules pages, the status of a scheduled job is identified by Queued in the

STATUS column. However, the same status is indicated as Scheduled on the Jobs page.

To preview a job information, click the row corresponding to the job. The right pane displays the job data and the target groups associated

with the inventory task. To view information about the job, click View Details. The Job Details page displays more information. See

Viewing an individual job information.
