Hardware inventory to the iDRAC 6

Hi all

I use dell servers m610 (iDRAC6). We have built a tool to get hardware information of dell m610 using wsman via iDRAC 6. But when I got some information about hardware (Ram, CPU, HARD disk) using wsman, I had old infofmation. When I installed more RAM or connected several hard drives. I always have information on old hardware.

+ Example command. wsman list http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cim-schema/2/root/dcim/DCIM_MemoryView h $IPADDRESS v - v - c dummy.cert 443 u $USERNAME $PASSWORD-j utf-8 Pei Pei - y basic.

+ management list http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cim-schema/2/root/dcim/DCIM_SystemView h $IPADDRESS v - v - c dummy.cert 443 u $USERNAME $PASSWORD-j utf-8 Pei Pei - y basic

I know an option of life cycle for the latest information on the hardware, is to allow to "collect system inventory on restart (CSIOR). But I have to restart the server for.

Is there a way to get the latest information of hardware without restarting the server?

Thank you very much

Hi nampnx,

You must enable CSIOR. This is a configuration of time. After that, whenever you add new hardware when the system boots, CSIOR will run for the POST. This will give you some info on iDRAC that new hardware has been added. Else iDRAC will not get to know the additional hardware.

Kind regards

Jean-Pierre

  • OME does not receive details of the inventory and the State for some devices

    OME does not receive the details of the inventory and the State for some servers.

    For example when looking at one of our PowerEdge R620s is all that presents itself:

    iDRAC firmware and LCC is updated (version 2.21.21.21 is installed.)

    I reset the iDRAC, and that did not help.  I have no problem with most of the other R620s in the same range of discovery.

    I deleted the object to OME and re-discovered twice over the past week it but did not help.

    Things seem ok when I use the troubleshooting tool:

    Anyone has any info on what may be going on here or how to fix this?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Thanks for the details in the post.

    Wanted to check what version of OME use you - OME 2.1?

    If so, this behavior with ws - man discovery could potentially due to expiry of certificate on this device. You can launch the iDRAC user interface and confirm the certificate information.

    2.1 the OME, the WS - Man communication component is updated. The most recent component does not communicate with the device if that device has been exceeded in the certificate.

    Sslresetcfg running via racadm will reset the certificate. For details and solution, see same threadhttp://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/systems-management/f/4494/t/19653767 .

  • IB: how to upgrade a serial number which performs hardware inventory operations?

    Dear friends

    first of all thank you for your time and the valid solutions

    Install the base: how to upgrade a serial number which performs hardware inventory operations


    description of the problem:

    Install the base > Quick search

    Here's the Installbase folder, when I fast search query

    REC # Item serial number State of the Instance element
    1 3000000 300-7000-01-1000XXX-0538JQ0003 of return for Exchange Adv
    2 8000000 300-7000-01-1000XXX-0538JQ0003-return for Exchange Adv
    3 300 - 7000-01 5000000 1000XXX-0538JQ0003-A return for Exchange Adv


    looking over the data, first recordings and the third are legitimate serial numbers (correct to the customer's specifications), second record is not legitimate because it has a dashboard as a suffix, we found there are several illegitimate serial numbers exist, must be updated with the right of the serial numbers which I analyzed in great after having pulled data from mtl_material_transactions oe_order_lines_all, mtl_serial_numbers, mtl_system_items_b
    Basically, these are all RMA

    I need to update the second album under the name 1094SUZ-0538JQ0003-B by the guidelines, updating, I need to keep all the existing contracts, warranty, what ever material operations, there need to be same.

    We have a package to update serial numbers using the IB (csi_Item_Instance_Pub.update_item_instance) API, but it updates only the records which has no current serial number of this instance, if there is a serial number already exists, it does not work.

    user to define the error msg ' serial number 1094SUZ-0538JQ0003-a inventory of significant transactions. " This serial number cannot be used to update an existing Instance of point", but I need to update anyway! or am I missing something here, please advice me

    post below resembles similar question, talking about hard update, I have no idea, by the practice that the serial number update will have same operations, contracts and dates... attached to it as previous serial number

    IB UPDATE_ITEM_INSTANCE ERROR - does not allow ACTIVE_START_DATE change

    This used. Is perhaps not perfect, but you should get there. Only if the table is saved (all tables seeded should be registered) it will work.

    Select a.table_name, distinct b.column_name from fnd_tables a, fnd_columns b
    where a.table_id = b.table_id
    and upper (b.column_name) like ' % SERIAL.

    Also it is a very old, but if you need history for this change adds logic to insert story as well...

    Hello

    I understand that you want to enable virtualization in the bios.

    When you access the menu of the bios you should switch on security, then should be the option to enable the feature and system security.

    Please let me know if it helps.

  • Add/Remove components error and DVD driver error: Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

    Original title: Add/Remove components error and DVD driver error

    Yesterday, I removed several components of windows to attempt to clean my cpu. After the reboot, I noticed that my DVD drive disappeared. I tried to update the driver but told me I have the most updated version, I uninstalled and reinstalled the drive, but I still get the same error. Under Driver Details, it shows that I have a lot of drivers for my Phillips DVD player. However, the status of the device is the following: Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device. I've done the troubleshooting, and the two options has not fixed the problem.

    Then I tried to add windows components that I removed, thinking maybe that was the problem. However, when I try to add them, I get an error message that says: 'Setup cannot copy the file zClientm.ex_' it shows the location of this file as being in windows/i386, and of course, the file is located in this folder. So when I go to browse to locate the file, I find and click on it to open it, but I keep getting the same error message that the file is not found and Setup cannot continue.

    I realize that this problem seems very rare and weird, but any help at all would be appreciated. Thank you.

  • After modification of the material or adding hardware: will be the key to license still work?

    Hello. I have a dvd of Windows XP SP3. I was wondering what material I can add in the machine. Is there a limit? I would keep the motherboard.

    What I know or I was told when I called Microsoft sales at 1-800-426-9400 licenses: when I add/edit I think it's 3 or 4 pieces of hardware - Windows will ask me to re - install XP. I then do the updates again until the most recent date. I have to re - install my malware and programs again, etc. Is there a limit to the additions? Because the rep said the license key is not valid, and I have to call Microsoft to set up again to $10 and the tax. She did her better with me, but maybe thought that I meant an upgrade I'll mention below. My motherboard has 5 hard drives, 3 more hardware pieces at the front, 1 Pcie x 16, 1 Pcie x 1, 2 Pci. In theory: if I added all this stuff here, XP would work or do I have to call Microsoft? Is this considered a reclamation system and my product key will work?

    I asked if there was a limit of CPU?  I was told there are 2 changes: the rep said there is no limit.

    I saw on a website a video explaining how to change your hard drive on a Flash drive. If I change the HARD disk to another HARD disk or drive of Flashhard in my copy of Windows Office work? Another version (Vista or 7)? What if I changed everything, as in my above question/example? This would apply to a laptop? (In the video, it was for a laptop). Or should I contact the manufacturer of my laptop and ask? Can there be a driver problem?

    If I had to install a XP to Vista or a Vista upgrade to Windows 7 upgrade when it's compatible version: should I clean just install the upgrade? Or reinstall the original and then pure install the upgrade? Do I need the original updates to install upgrades? I'm under the impression just do a clean install and its good to go. But: If I've changed some hard-ware with the original OS, has been invited to re - install, validate the copy I have - so should I clean install upgrade? And I can do any hard-ware adds or changes later with the upgrade versions? The representative said no, validation would jump to the top explaining that the key doesn't work anymore.

    If I installed an upgrade to an existing operating system and there was a problem for me to have to re - install the OS upgrade: How can I do this? Woud I first install the original? I have to validate this OS? Then the upgrade? Or just pop in the dvd upgrade and it should install as a full version? The rep told me on the phone that a message saying: I can't use that key, I'll have to call the get that he regenerated for $10 and the tax. What happens if I had to re - install and I used something like Norton Ghost? I can re - apply my disk image?

    If someone had a motherboard with multiple sockets for processors (say two proessors can go there): can they change the processors? One or both? Maybe I've misunderstood this concept well.

    "Brian V V" wrote in message News: 7f167c4f-c0a7-48ae-8 c 61-fd3bf81c26d5...

    So just the product key? with the reactivation...?

    But is there a limit to how much I can add to internal?

    What switch the hard disk of laptop or desktop (in case of failure or a newer more/better).

    In the case of the OEM licenses, the license is valid only on the motherboard original (except in certain circumstances) - almost everything is up for grabs.
    In the case of retail licenses, everything is up for grabs :)
     
    I had a system that I built in 2002. He went through two motherboards, three (or was it 4?) processors, at least 5 hard drives and a variety of expansion cards up to what I finally put to rest a few months ago - I have never had to reinstall except when changing motherboards, due to the incompatibility between chipsets. The reason for which I put to rest was simple - I wanted to change was the case - and the motherboard in the cracking process. I'm saving for a new capable of running Win7 64 bit :)
     
    The laptop that I'm writing this on is due for a new HD - when I'm close to it (he is sitting on the table) - because the old man is too small. I'll just copy the complete installation through a new, plug it in and I'm leaving - at least in theory.
     
    Look here for details on the process of Activation, http://aumha.org/win5/a/wpa.htm , that article was written when XP came out
    but is updated according to the needs.

  • SE error message: "Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The unit may be damaged or missing. "When you try to install new drivers for DVD players

    Original title: CD/DVD drives do not work after upgrade from XP to Vista

    I upgraded my dell E521 to Vista dimension, but now finds that none of the CD/DVD drives work.  I also tried two external drives, same thing.  I downloaded the new drivers for the internal disks and when I tried to install the windows said they already had the best drivers.  Both drives are TSST - I get device status "windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The unit may be damaged or missing. "I want to upgrade to 7, but can not run the dvd, and apparently MS has no download available if you purchase cd!  Am tearing my hair!

    Hi krt2,

    In general, the error can be caused by a missing required device driver, a required binary file is damaged, if there is a problem with the process I/O file, or if a pilot that makes reference to an entry point in another binary file which can not load

    You can try to uninstall and reinstall the driver for the device to solve this problem.

    Step 1: Uninstall the CD/DVD driver. Follow this step to do the same thing:

    a. click the Start button, select Control Panel, click System and Maintenance and then click Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    b. expand CD-ROM/DVD-Rom drives-> right click on the device, and then click Properties.

    c. on the device properties dialog box, click the driver tab, and then click on uninstall.

    d. restart your computer.

    Step 2: Reinstall the CD/DVD driver by visiting the manufacturer's Web site.

    See the links below for more details on the update of drivers:

    Updated a hardware driver that is not working properly

    My server is running Linux 64-bit Centos 6.7.

    Try to run the sync .bin file , directly on the server and not on your client system.

    Hello

    Code 39 means that the driver is corrupted or missing.

    Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
    the question.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
    slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    --------------------------------------------------------------

    Also check with your system manufacturer to see if there are any updated drivers for your DVD. Or even if it
    are you can reinstall the 'old'. Many use Windows default drivers however some special aura
    ones. Also check the website of the manufacturer of the car.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
