Dell Lifecycle Controller Remote Services v2.30.30.30 Quick Start Guide
Collecting System Inventory
When Collect System Inventory On Restart (CSIOR) is set to enabled, Lifecycle Controller performs an inventory and collects the configuration information for all hardware on every system restart. Additionally, the system inventory collection also detects any changes in hardware. If the Part Replacement feature is enabled and CSIOR detects that the managed hardware is replaced, Lifecycle Controller restores the previous configuration and firmware on the newly installed device based on the inventory collected during the previous system restart.
The CSIOR setting is enabled by default and it can
be disabled locally by using Lifecycle Controller or remotely with
WS-MAN. You can change the settings to one of the following:
- Enable — Hardware inventory and configuration information is collected on every system restart. Collecting system inventory may affect the boot time depending on the hardware present in the system.
- Disable — Hardware inventory and configuration information will not be collected on every system restart. The usage of many features depend on the inventory information updates. Features such as Easy Restore and Part Replacement may not contain the latest information when CSIOR is disabled. In-band tools such as OMSA and DTK cannot configure BIOS when CSIOR is disabled. Also, system information reported from out-of-band interfaces such as WS-MAN and RACADM may not have correct information.
