OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter

Understanding Job Queue

The Job Queue manages server deployment and inventory retrieval jobs, such as:

  • Displaying the submitted server deployment jobs.
  • Refreshing the Deployment Jobs or Inventory/Warranty History queues.
  • Scheduling an inventory job to update the Dell server attributes found in the current vCenter.
  • Purging the deployment job queue entries.
  • Managing firmware updates for clusters and databases.

NOTE: To make sure the inventory/warranty contains up-to-date information, schedule the inventory/warranty job to run a minimum of once a week. The inventory/warranty job consumes minimal resources and does not degrade host performance.
