Modify host inventory job
After associating hosts to a Host Credential Profile, you must periodically schedule inventory to ensure that inventory information of hosts is up-to-date. Inventory Jobs displays the status of inventory jobs that are run on the hosts.
You can also modify the inventory schedule from the page.
- On the Jobs page, select a vCenter instance, and click
.The Inventory Data Retrieval dialog box is displayed. - Under the Inventory Data section, do the following:
- Select the Enable Inventory Data Retrieval (Recommended) check box.
- Select the inventory data retrieval day and time, and click APPLY.
- To reset the settings, click CLEAR.
- To run the inventory job now, on the Jobs page, click
.
NOTE For servers that do not have an iDRAC Express or Enterprise license, the inventory fails because the license upgrade is required for iDRAC.NOTE When you run a modular host inventory, the corresponding chassis are discovered automatically. The chassis inventory runs automatically after host inventory if chassis is part of a chassis credential profile.
