OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter

About Inventory Schedule

The inventory schedule sets the time/day for running inventory jobs, such as:

  • Weekly at a specific time and on selected days
  • At a set time interval

Most of the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter features require that an inventory is completed first to gather required data. An inventory of all host systems must be collected to display this information. To perform an inventory on host systems, create a connection profile that provides communication and authentication information. Once the inventory is complete, you can view the inventory results for the entire datacenter or for an individual host system.

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