Exporting inventory
Export the inventory of selected servers or a group of server to an XML or CSV format file. You can save this information in a
Windows shared directory or on a management system. Use this inventory information to create a reference inventory file in an
update source.
Ensure that you set the browser settings as mentioned in Browser settings section in Dell EMC OpenManage Integration for
Microsoft System Center Version 7.2.1 for System Center Configuration Manager and System Center Virtual Machine Manager
User's Guide.
NOTE: You can import the XML file into DRM and create a repository based on the inventory file.
NOTE: Though you select only the component information of a server and export it, the complete inventory information of
the server is exported.
1. In OMIMSSC, click Maintenance Center.
2. Select the servers for which you want to export the inventory, and select the format from Export Inventory drop-down
menu.
The file is exported in CSV or XML format based on the selection. The file consists of details such as server groups, service
tag of the server, host name or IP address, device model, component name, current firmware version on that component,
firmware version from the update source, and update action on that component.
Cancelling scheduled jobs
Ensure that the job is in Scheduled state.
1. In OMIMSSC, do any of the following:
● In the navigation pane, click Maintenance Center, and then click Manage Jobs.
● In the navigation pane, click Jobs and Log Center, and then click Scheduled tab.
