Viewing warranty history
A warranty job is a scheduled task to get warranty information from Support.dell.com on all systems. You can sort the columns of
the inventory view in ascending and/or descending order.
NOTE:
The OMIVV appliance requires internet connectivity to extract warranty information. Ensure that the OMIVV
appliance has internet connectivity. Depending on the network settings, OMIVV might require proxy information for
internet reachability and fetch warranty information. The proxy details can be updated in the Administration Console.
See Setting up HTTP proxy.
