Configuring Discovery and
Inventory Settings
With Dell™ Management Console you can discover and inventory devices,
alert users, update drivers, BIOS, and firmware, and perform a variety of tasks
for each system in your enterprise. Managed systems can include servers,
printers, tape devices, storage devices, systems with remote access cards, Dell
PowerConnect™ switches, and digital keyboard/video/mouse (KVMs)
switches used with rack-dense systems.
This section illustrates how a system administrator of a small-to-medium size
business (50 servers, plus over 200 client systems, and 10 switches) can use the
Discovery and Inventory solutions of Dell Management Console.
The scenarios illustrates how an administrator in charge of managing network
environments can configure Dell Management Console.
