The enumeration request will generate a WinRM error when the UEFI

system services are set to

Disabled

Requested inventories are collected as "Installed" and "Available" CIM

instances.

The software currently installed on the component is listed as the

"Installed Software Instance". The key property value of this instance,

InstanceID represented as DCIM: INSTALLED :<

COMPONENTTYPE> :< COMPONENTID> :< Version> and the

status value of this instance is represented as "Installed"

The available software in the persistent storage is listed as the Available

Software Instance. The key property value of the instance, InstanceID

represented as DCIM: AVAILABLE :< COMPONENTTYPE> :<

COMPONENTID> :< Version> and the status value of this instance is

represented as “Available”. Current installed software instances are also

represented as available software instances.

Inventory instances provide input values for the update and rollback

operations. To perform the update operation, pick the InstanceID value

from the Installed Instance, DCIM: INSTALLED :< comptype> :<

compid> :< version>. For the rollback operation pick the InstanceID

Value from the Available instance,

DCIM:AVAILABLE:<comptype>:<compid>:<version>. You will not be

able to edit InstanceID values.

If the "version string" property value of "Available Software Instance" is

equal to the "Installed Software Instance," then the InstanceID value of

that Available Software Instance should not be used for the rollback

operation.

If Unified Server Configurator (USC) is being run on the system during

the inventory operation, only "Installed Instances" will be returned.

Important

• There may be

DCIM_SoftwareIdentity

instances for hardware that

was previously installed and then removed still listed in the inventory as

"available."

• When you perform an inventory of updates using remote enablement

while the system is booted to USC, the inventory may not be complete.

Some components could be missing from the list.
