Warranty jobs

Hardware warranty information is retrieved from Dell online and is displayed by OMIVV. The service tag of the server is used to gather

warranty information about the server. The warranty data retrieval jobs are set up by using the Initial Configuration Wizard.

The tasks you can perform in this tab include:

• Viewing warranty history

• Modifying a warranty job schedule

• Running a hosts warranty job now

• Running a chassis warranty job now

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 on page 18.
