Inventory Schedule Settings

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

A completed inventory is required to gather the data needed by the majority of the Management Plug-In features.

NOTE: To make sure 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.

Tasks

To modify the inventory job schedule:
  1. Click Edit to change the current schedule; does not apply to Configuration Wizard.
  2. Select the On Selected Days: radio button, and then select the check box for the day of the week and enter the time. Click the Clear button to clear the entries.
  3. Select the Do not run inventory on Dell hosts radio button to not run an inventory; this option is not recommended. All other selections on the page become inactive.
  4. Select the Run inventory at the end of the wizard [Recommended] check box to automatically run the inventory job at the end of the wizard.
  5. Click Apply to change inventory schedule, or click Cancel to cancel.
