Scheduling Inventory Jobs [Wizard]
The inventory schedule configuration is similar between the Configuration Wizard and from the Dell Management
Center, Settings option. The only difference is that the wizard supplies an option to select if you want to run the inventory
immediately.
NOTE: To make sure that the Dell Management Plug-in continues to display updated information, it is
recommended that you schedule a periodic inventory job. The inventory job consumes minimal resources and will
not degrade host performance.
To schedule an inventory job:
1. In the Configuration Wizard, in the Inventory Schedule window, do one of the following:
– To run inventory schedules, click On Selected Days.
– To not run inventory schedules, select Do not run inventory on Dell hosts.

b) In the text box, enter the time in HH:MM format.
