Monitor
Using Lifecycle Controller, you can monitor the hardware inventory and events in the system throughout its lifecycle.
Hardware Inventory View and Export
Lifecycle Controller provides the following wizards to manage the system inventory:
• View Current Inventory
• Export Current Inventory
• View Factory Shipped Inventory
• Export Factory Shipped Inventory
• Collect System Inventory on Restart
About View and Export Current Inventory
You can view information about the currently-installed hardware components that are internal to the system chassis and the
conguration for each component. The table lists all the currently-installed hardware components (for example, fans, PCI devices,
NICs, DIMMs, PSU, and so on), and their properties and values. You can export this information to a compressed le and then to a
USB drive or network share. The XML File is saved in the following format: HardwareInventory_<servicetag>_<timestamp>.xml
For more information about the easy-to-use names of the hardware components, see Easy-to-use System Component Names.
NOTE: Incorrect inventory data is displayed or exported after performing Delete Conguration and Reset Defaults. For
viewing the correct inventory data, see Viewing and Exporting Current Inventory After Resetting Lifecycle Controller.

About View and Export Factory-Shipped Inventory
You can view information about the factory-installed hardware components and their conguration. You can export this information
in an XML format to a USB drive, network share, or both the locations. The XML le is saved in this format:
FactoryShippedHWInventory_<servicetag>.xml.
For more information about the easy-to-use names of the hardware components, see Easy-to-use System Component Names.
NOTE: View and export factory-shipped inventory feature is grayed out if the Delete Conguration and Reset Defaults
option is selected, which permanently deletes the factory-shipped inventory.
