groups from the Update Group drop-down menu. View the device firmware inventory, manage the devices by keeping their
firmware up-to-date as per the recommendations, revert the server to an earlier state if it has failed, bring up a replaced
component to the same configuration of the old component, and export server logs for troubleshooting any issues. In Update
Settings page view all the update sources, polling and notifications for latest updates from default update source, update
groups of devices that require similar management, and all the protection vaults required for server configurations.
NOTE: By default, OMIMSSC is packaged with a catalog file that displays an earlier version of the comparison report for
predefined FTP, HTTP, and HTTPS update source. Hence, download the latest catalog to display the latest comparison
report. To download the latest catalog, edit and save the FTP, HTTP, and HTTPS update sources.

Launching Jobs and Logs Center
View information about jobs initiated in OMIMSSC along with status of job's progress, and its subtask. Also, you can filter and
view jobs of a particular job category.
You can view jobs that are initiated from OMIMSSC, in OMIMSSC Admin Portal and OMIMSSC console extension.
● OMIMSSC Admin portal—displays jobs that are initiated from all OMIMSSC consoles and users
● OMIMSSC console—displays jobs specific to a user and a console
Job names are either generated by the system or provided by users, and the subtasks are named after the IP address or
hostname of the managed systems. Expand the subtask to view the activity logs for that job. Jobs are classified under four
groups:
● Running—displays all the jobs that are currently running and in-progress state.
● History—displays all the jobs run in the past with its job status.
● Scheduled—displays all the jobs that are scheduled for a future date and time. Also, you can cancel these scheduled jobs.
● Generic Logs—displays OMIMSSC Appliance-specific, common log messages that are not specific to a task, and other
activities. Every job is displayed with a user name and a console FQDN from where it was initiated.
○ Appliance Log Messages—displays all OMIMSSC Appliance-specific log messages such as restarting OMIMSSC
Appliance. You can view this category of messages only from OMIMSSC Admin Portal.
○ Generic Log Messages—displays log messages that are common across different job categories that are listed in
Running, History, and Scheduled tabs. These logs are specific to a console and a user.
For example, if a firmware update job is in-progress for a group of servers, the tab displays log messages that belong to
creating the Server Update Utility (SUU) repository for that job.
The various states of a job that is defined in OMIMSSC are as follows:
● Canceled—job is manually canceled, or after OMIMSSC Appliance restarts.
