Hi,

Please find below the instruction how you can identify Gen types for the RPA on the basis of HBA Model-

RPA

Hi,

If your using the GUI then its very easy to determine which Gen hardware your using .

You just need to click on the RPA and then double click the RPA which you want to see and the property window for that hardware will pop up which has more details for hardware and system graphs. In that if you notice on top left end there are following details like :-

1) Site

2) ID

3) WAN IP

4) Mmgmt IP

5) Version

6) hardware platform

For example ==> Dell Inc PowerEdge R610 GEN4

This identifies that which gen hardware is it from GUI .

Hi ,

There is no comand as mentioned  'get_box_status' in 3.5.p1 . But yes there is CLI cmand "get_box_states" which gives same details which you get in GUI for the RPA's. I hope all this post has given your answer.
