Secure Connect Gateway 5.x — Virtual Edition User's Guide

Inventory validation

Site inventory validation verifies the following:

• Connectivity between secure connect gateway and the device. It also verifies if the required ports are open on the device and if account credentials for the device are available and valid.
• If the requirements to collect telemetry from the device are met.
• If the alert or event destination on servers running Linux operating system and on iDRAC devices are configured.

If the validation is successful, the device is moved to the Default group or to the assigned custom device group. If the validation fails, the device is moved to the Staging or Inactive group.

By default, inventory validation is scheduled on a randomly determined day of every month at 11 p.m. You can choose a specific day based on your requirement. For more information, see Configure automated tasks. To manually perform an inventory validation, select one or more devices on the Devices page and click Validate inventory.
