Inventory And Licensing

If server data cannot be retrieved and displayed, there are several possible causes:

  • The server was not associated with a connection profile, and therefore an inventory task cannot be completed.
  • An inventory task was not run on the server to collect the data, therefore there is nothing to display.
  • The number of host licenses is exceeded, and you must have additional licenses available in order for the inventory task to complete.
  • The server does not have the correct iDRAC license required for 12th generation servers and you must purchase the correct iDRAC licence.

The Buy Now link is for purchasing the product for the first time and not for upgrades. The Buy Now link only appears if you are using a demo license.
