Resources
The Chassis, servers, switches, storage groups, VMware vCenters, and Microsoft virtualization environments that you can manage using ASM are called resources.
The Resources page displays detailed information about all the resources and the server pools that ASM has discovered and inventoried, and allows you to perform various operations from the All Resources and Server Pools tabs.
- NOTE: It may take few minutes to display the discovered resources every time you run the inventory, depending upon the number of resources.
The All Resources tab displays the following information, in tabular format, about the resources discovered and managed in ASM.
- Health state of the resource such as server, storage, and switches (Healthy, Critical, Warning, and Unknown). For more information on the resource state, see Resource health status
- State in which the resource exists Available, Deployed, Pending, Error, and so on.
- IP address of the resource. Click the IP address of a Dell resource to open the Element Manager.
- Resource ID that uniquely identifies a resource in the form of service tag, host name, or FQDN based on the resource types.
- Manufacturer name. For example, Dell, Cisco, VMware, and so on.
- Resource model. For example, M620, M1000e, FX2 server, and so on.
- Resource type. For example, chassis, blade server, EqualLogic Storage Group, VMware vCenter, and so on.
- Firmware status. (Compliant, Non–Compliant, Update Required)
To sort the resource list based on the entries in a column, click the arrow next the column header.
To filter resources based on the resource type, click
Show Filter on the
Resource page
and then select one of the following resource types from
Resource Type drop-down list:
- All
- Dell Chassis
- Element Manager
- Servers
- Switches
- Storage
- VM Manager
To filter resources based on the resource status,
select one of the following from the
Health drop-down list:
- All
- Healthy
- Warning
- Critical
- Unknown
You can also filter the resources based on the Service, Resource State — Managed, Unmanaged, or Reserved, and Server Pool.
On the
Resources page, you
can also:
- Click Discover to discover new resources. For more information on discovering the new resources, see Discovering resources .
- Click Remove to remove the resource from ASM. For more information on removing the resources, see Removing resources.
- Click Export All to export all the resource details to .csv file.
- Select one or more resources, and click Managed, Unmanaged, or Reserved to set the resource state.
- Select one or more resources and click Update Firmware to update the firmware of the resources.
- Select one or more chassis from the list, and click Configure Chassis to configure the basic settings on the chassis.
- On the right pane, you can perform the following
actions:
- Click View Details to view the detailed information about the resource.
- Click Run Inventory to update the resource inventory.
- Under Details, next to Firmware Status, click View Compliance Report to view the firmware compliance report.
