Compute inventory

To view the compute inventory, browse to the UCP system where you want to view the inventory, and then select Compute.

• Click the List or Tile icons to change the inventory view.

In Tile view, the following general information for each compute node is displayed:

Click any compute device tile to display summary and component information through various tabs. For example, the summary tab displays the current state and location of the compute device, the version numbers of its software components, the state of its hardware components, and any related alerts. The component tabs display information about the compute hardware, such as location, model name and manufacturer, operation parameters, and status. You can also view vSAN datastore information and event logs associated with the compute device.

The additional management actions enable you to refresh the compute device information, set boot options, power-off/power-on servers, reset the power, reset the BMC, edit the BMC password, replace a server, upgrade firmware, and launch a remote console to perform other administrative tasks.

NIC MAC Address

The Media Access Controller (MAC) address for the Network Interface Controller (NIC).

Number of CPUs

The number of CPUs used by the compute device.

Number of GPUs

The number of graphical processing units (GPUs) used by the compute device.

Note:

• The latest version of the NVIDIA driver is required to obtain GPU memory information.
• This information is listed only for DS120/ DS220, DS120/DS220 G2, DS220, and DS240 server models.

Onboard Status

The current onboard status of a compute node: Maintenance, Onboarded, Not Onboarded, Locked, Updated, Unrecognized Device, Unreachable, Normal, ERROR, Onboarding.

Remote Syslog Server

The IP address of the vRealize Log Insight instance that you have attached to the UCP system.

Serial

The serial number of the compute device.

Tags

Optional labels you can assign to compute nodes to simplify list filtering.

Temperature Status

The current status of the temperature: Normal, Standby, Busy, Disabled, N/A, Unknown, Absent, Degraded, Exceeds Threshold, Critical, Fault.

Total Memory

The total physical memory available to the compute device.

vCenter

The vCenter server to which the compute host is assigned.

Voltage Status

The current status of the voltage: Normal, Standby, Busy, Disabled, N/A, Unknown, Absent, Degraded, Exceeds Threshold, Critical, Fault.

Note: This information is not displayed for HA800 G2/G3 series server models.

WWN

The unique World Wide Name (WWN) identifier of the compute node.

From the various tabs, you can access the following component information:

• BMC: this view shows the AD settings, NTP settings, SNMP, and SNMPv3 settings.
  Note:

  • Edit SNMP settings is not applicable on DS120/DS220 G2 and HA805/HA810/HA815/HA820/HA825 G3 server models.
  • Edit NTP settings is not supported on HA810/ HA820 G2 and HA805/HA810/HA815/HA820/HA825 G3 server models.
  
  
  
  
  
• BIOS: this view shows the existing boot settings and CPU settings in the Summary tab, as well as an Apply BIOS Settings button where you can update the existing boot settings and CPU settings, and BIOS templates in the BIOS Template tab, as well as Create BIOS Template, Edit BIOS Template, Clone BIOS Template, and Delete BIOS Template options.

• GPU
  Note: The NVIDIA GPU VIB (vSphere Installation Bundle) must be installed and configured on the ESXi host to display the GPU memory information.
  
  
  
  
  
• FRU
  Note: The Date of Manufacture is not displayed for the DS120/ DS220, DS120/DS220 G2, DS220, and DS240 server models.

• I/O Cards
  • Note:

    The I/O cards on HA810/HA820 G2 and HA805/HA810/HA815/HA820/HA825 G3 server models are automatically discovered when you onboard the servers.

  
  
  
  
  
• Local Drives: this view shows system drives and RAID drives.
  Note:

  Drives connected to SAS Controller (SAS Drives) or NVMe drives are not supported.

  This feature is partially supported on HA810 G2 and HA820 G2 - the view only shows RAID drives and not system drives for these servers.

  For a visual reference of the physical location of the drive slot numbers per server model, see Local drive slot numbering.

  
  
  
  
  
• vSAN Datastores: this view shows Host Config, Datastore, Physical Storage Devices, and Other Storage Devices.
  Note: The vSAN Datastores information is populated only when the vSAN configuration is enabled on a compute server that is onboarded with ESXi details. The vCenter must be attached to the UCP system to populate the vSAN Datastores information.
