OMIVV Jobs

  • All post Discovery tasks are classified as Jobs
  • Managed in the Jobs Pane
  • Types of Jobs

Deployment Firmware Updates System Lockdown Mode Drift Detection Inventory Warranty
 
 
Managing Jobs:

 Inventory Job

  • Firmware Updates require an Inventory job to do the catalog comparison against

  • Chassis and Hosts are run separately, but they are also global for that device type

  • Runs on a schedule

NOTE: The recommendation is to run on a non-busy day/time and dynamically when needed.
 
 
Warranty Job

  • The primary purpose is to check for expiring warranties

  • Populates VCenter with warranty info upstream

  • Chassis and Hosts are run separately, but they are also global for that device type

  • Runs on a schedule

 
 

Other Jobs not covered under this module

  • Firmware Update Jobs are covered under the Firmware Updates module

  • System Lockdown Mode Job is covered in its own video

  • Deployment Jobs are covered under the Template Deployment module

  • Drift Detection will also be covered under the Template Deployment log

 

Troubleshooting Jobs:

 Inventory Job

  • Requirements are that CSIOR is enabled and WBEM and WSMAN are working

  • Generally failures are seen before the job has a problem

  • It is possible that an Inventory Job was never run/scheduled, either accidentally or there is a preceding failure prior to inventory jobs running

 

Warranty Job

 

System Lockdown Mode Job

  • May have to troubleshoot missing servers

  • Only supports iDRAC9 so if they are not being inventoried then they do not show up to be allowed to run this job
