Scheduling inventory jobs

About this task

You can configure inventory schedule by using the configuration wizard or OpenManage Integration under the OpenManage Integration > Manage > Settings tab.
NOTE To ensure that OMIVV continues to display updated information, Dell recommends that you schedule a periodic inventory job. The inventory job consumes minimal resources and does not degrade host performance.
NOTE The chassis gets discovered automatically after the inventory for all hosts is run. If the chassis is added to a chassis profile, the chassis inventory automatically runs. In an SSO environment with multiple vCenter servers, the chassis inventory runs automatically with every vCenter when the inventory for any vCenter is run at a scheduled time.
NOTE The settings in this page are reset to default each time the configuration wizard is invoked. If you have previously configured a schedule for inventory, ensure that you replicate the previous schedule in this page before completing the wizard functions so that the previous schedule is not overridden by the default settings.

Steps

  1. In the Initial Configuration Wizard, from the Inventory Schedule dialog box, select Enable Inventory Data Retrieval, if it is not enabled. By default, Enable Inventory Data Retrieval is enabled.
  2. Under Inventory Data Retrieval Schedule, perform the following steps:
    1. Select the check box next to each day of the week that you want to run the inventory.
      By default, all the days are selected.
    2. In Data Retrieval Time, enter the time in HH:MM format.
      The time you enter is your local time. Therefore, if you want to run the inventory at the virtual appliance time zone, calculate the time difference between your local and virtual appliance time zone, and then enter the time appropriately.
    3. To apply the changes and continue, click Next.
    Once you click next, all details that you provide in this wizard is saved and you cannot modify the details from this wizard. You can modify inventory schedule details of the hosts from the Manage > Settings tab after completing the configuration from the configuration wizard. See Modifying inventory job schedules in the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter User’s Guide at Dell.com/support/manuals.
