The Software Inventory page contains the following elements:

Table 5-29 Elements on the Software Inventory page

Element Description
Ident The identity information of the server.

The field will always be blank for any unprovisioned server.

An Enclosure link takes you to the Enclosure Inventory Summary page. A Bay link takes you to the Bay Summary tab. An RMS link takes you to the RMS Hardware tab. A guest link takes you to the View VM Guest work area for the guest.

IP Address The IP address of the server where the application resides.

If available, IPv4 addresses are displayed. In some cases during the installation, PMAC is unable to obtain the IPv4 addresses via SNMP. In such cases, PMAC displays the IPv6 address (for example, fe80::226:55ff:fe7d:9b10).

Hostname The configured hostname of the server.
Plat Name The name of the operating system.

  • TPD (i686) indicates a 32-bit TPD.
  • TPD (x86_64) indicates a 64-bit TPD.
The remaining fields on the page are defined by the application. If the application is not set up to display data in these fields, these fields will appear blank.
App Name The name of the application.

If the checkbox is "checked", a manual page Refresh will "uncheck" the checkbox.

Display filter

The Software Inventory page includes a Display Filter, which allows filtering the inventory display according to the contents of one or more columns of the table.

You can filter the display based on the content of one or more columns by selecting an operator and entering text to compare against. Selecting an operator of "Ignored" for a column allows for any value in that column.

Note:

The Ident column of the table actually consists of a combination of Enclosure, Bay, and Guest or RMS and Guest (whatever is known about a managed server), but the filter presents those components separately.
