OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter

Scheduling Inventory Jobs [Wizard]

The inventory schedule configuration is similar between the Configuration Wizard and from the Dell Management Center, Settings option. The only difference is that the wizard supplies an option to select if you want to run the inventory immediately.
NOTE: To make sure that the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCentercontinues to display updated information, it is recommended that you schedule a periodic inventory job. The inventory job consumes minimal resources and will not degrade host performance.

To schedule an inventory job:

  1. In the Configuration Wizard, in the Inventory Schedule window, do one of the following:

    • To run inventory schedules, click On Selected Days.
    • To not run inventory schedules, select Do not run inventory on Dell hosts.
  2. If you selected On Selected Days, then do the following:

    1. Select the check box next to each day of the week that you want to run the inventory.

    2. In the text box, enter the time in HH:MM format.

      The time you enter is your local time. Calculate the time difference you need to run the inventory collection at the proper time.

    3. To automatically run the inventory task once the wizard is complete, select the Run inventory at the end of the wizard [Recommended] check box.

      This check box only appears when the On Selected Days check box is selected.
  3. To apply the changes and continue, click Save and Continue.
