Update resource inventory

About this task

You can run inventory to incorporate changes that are made to resource data outside of PowerFlex Manager. After running the inventory to incorporate these changes into the Resources page, you can update the details on any resource group that needs to include the new resource data.

Super users can run the inventory on any resources. Lifecycle administrators can run the inventory only on resources that are part of a node pool for which they have permission.

Steps

  1. On the menu bar, click Resources.
  2. On the Resources page, click the All Resources tab.
  3. From the list of resources, click a resource, and in the Details pane, click Run Inventory.

    The resource state changes to Pending. When the inventory is complete, the resource state changes to Available. See PowerFlex Manager logs to view the start time and end time of the resource inventory operation.

    When you run the inventory, PowerFlex Manager checks to see whether DAS Cache is installed on any of the SVMs. If DAS Cache is installed, PowerFlex Manager disables some resource group features. PowerFlex Manager does not enable you to expand or remove resources within a resource group. Also, you cannot enter service mode, perform a drive replacement, perform firmware updates, delete a resource group, or retry a resource group deployment.
