Setting Collect System Inventory on Restart (CSIOR) on a Clone Server

Before creating a hardware profile using a reference server, enable the Collect System Inventory On Restart (CSIOR) setting and restart the server to provide accurate inventory and configuration information.

There are two methods for setting CSIOR: Locally on an individual host using the Lifecycle Controller United Server Configurator (USC) user interface or remotely using a WS-Man script. For more information on scripting this functionality, see the Dell Tech Center and the DCIM Lifecycle Controller Management Profile.

Tasks

To enable CSIOR locally on a reference server:
  1. Power on the system and during POST press F10 to launch USC.
  2. Select Hardware Configuration - Part Replacement Configuration.
  3. Enable the Collect System Inventory on Restart setting and exit USC.
