Discovery of hardware configuration information collects serial numbers of chassis, blade servers, rack mount servers, firmware versions, and CPU/memory information.
Discovery of virtual environment configuration information collects the host OS version, guest OS type, IP address, and CPU/memory information in VMware vSphere or OpenStack environments.
To manage hardware/virtual environment configuration management, perform the following operations.
Referencing the hardware/virtual configuration information
The servers for which configuration information has been collected by the discovery function can be displayed as a list, and detailed information about each individual server can be looked up. It is also possible to display information that has been filtered by specifying particular conditions.
The following table shows the range within which each role can use hardware/virtual environment configuration management:
Role | Usage range of hardware/virtual environment configuration information |
|---|---|
Infrastructure administrator | Can look up software configuration information for all servers. |
Dual-role administrator | Can look up software configuration information for all servers. |
