Resource Editor: General
This screen may vary for different kinds of devices. Its General Details panel displays the Name,
Description, Vendor, Location, Contact,
and Equipment Icon for the selected device.
The
Extended Details panel includes Network, Properties and Settings tabs. These let you view or
alter things like
IP Address, DNS Hostname, Manage by Hostname, Network Status, Model and
Equipment Type, Serial Number, Software Version Firmware and Hardware versions . The Settings
tab lists the System Object ID, Date created (the date this managed device entered the database),
Creator (the user who discovered or created the device), Install Date, Management State (see also
the
Manage > Administrative State menu below) , Operational State, Topology Icon Size (eXtra
Large - Small),
and any Notes about the device.
NOTE:
Changing fields in the Editor screens like Network Status, Administrative State, Operational State (and
MAC address for ports) do not change the device; they change only the OpenManage Network Manager
database. You can alter these fields to take notes or set aspirational values, but no change goes to the
device, and resync eradicates changes made if the device has conflicting values.
