Displaying The Inventory For A Single Host System in vCenter
To display the inventory for a single host system:
1. From the vSphere Client's Home, select Hosts and Clusters.
2. From Hosts and Clusters, in the left pane, select the host system, and then select the OpenManage Integration tab.
3. An overview of the selected host is displayed.
The overview provides information on key host server attributes, including individual component health, identification,
hypervisor, and firmware information.
● Hardware Component Health is a graphical representation of the status of all major host server components: system
chassis, power supply, temperature, fans, voltage, processors, batteries, intrusion, hardware log, power management, and
memory. The available status states are:
○ Healthy (green check mark) - component operating normally
○ Warning (yellow triangle with exclamation point) - component has a non-critical error
○ Critical (red X) - component has a critical failure
○ Unknown (question mark) - status is unknown for the component
A global health status is displayed in the upper-right header bar.
● Server Information provides identification, hypervisor, and firmware information, such as:
○ Host name, power state, iDRAC IP address, Management IP address, connection profile in use, model, service tag and
asset tag numbers, number of days left on the warranty, and when the last inventory scan was performed
○ Hypervisor, BIOS firmware, and iDRAC firmware versions
○ Fault Resilient Memory (FRM): This is a BIOS attribute and is enabled in the BIOS during initial setup of the sever
and displays the memory operational mode of the server. You need to restart your system when you change memory
operational mode value. This is applicable for R620, R720, T620, M620 and 13th generation servers with ESXi 5.5 or
later version. The four different values are:
￭ Enabled and Protected: This value indicates that the system is supported and the operating system version is ESXi
5.5 or later, and the memory operational mode in BIOS is set to FRM.
￭ Enabled and Not Protected: This value indicates that the memory operational mode in BIOS is set to FRM, but the
operating system does not have support for this feature.
￭ Disabled: This value indicates that it supports valid systems with any operating system version and here memory
operational mode in BIOS is not set to FRM.
￭ Blank: If memory operational mode in BIOS is not supported the FRM attribute is not displayed.
○ Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) Fault Resilient Memory (FRM): NUMA FRM is a new memory operating mode
available on the BIOS settings of high-end Dell’s 13th generation of PowerEdge systems with at least two or four
processors. This mode establishes an area of memory that is fault-resilient on all CPUs, providing the same protection
to the hypervisor against uncorrectable memory errors that would affect it, as well as maintaining NUMA memory
functionality and performance. The four different values are:
￭ NUMA Enabled and Protected: This value indicates that the system is supported and the operating system version
is ESXi 5.5 or later, and the memory operational mode in BIOS is set to NUMA FRM.
￭ NUMA Enabled and Not Protected: This value indicates that the memory operational mode in BIOS is set to NUMA
FRM, but the operating system does not have support for this feature.
￭ Disabled: This value indicates that it supports valid systems with any operating system version and here memory
operational mode in BIOS is not set to NUMA FRM.
￭ Blank: If memory operational mode in BIOS is not supported the NUMA FRM attribute is not displayed.
● Recent System Log Entries provide the 10 most recent system event log entries. To launch the System Event Log
window that displays additional log details, click Details.
