Modifying inventory job schedules

To ensure that there is up-to-date host information, schedule the inventory job to run at a minimum frequency of once a week. The inventory job consumes minimal resources and does not degrade host performance. You can change the inventory job schedule from the Initial Configuration Wizard or from the Monitor tab.

1. In the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter, click the Monitor tab.
2. Click Job Queue, Inventory History, and then click Host Inventory.
3. Select a vCenter, and then click the icon.
4. In the Inventory Data Retrieval dialog box, do the following:
   1. Under Inventory Data, select the Enable Inventory Data Retrieval check box.
   2. Under Inventory Data Retrieval Schedule, select the days of the week for your job.
   3. In the Inventory Data Retrieval Time text box, type the local time for this job.
      You might need to consider the time difference between job configuration and job implementation.
5. To save the settings, click Apply, to reset the settings, click Clear, and to abort the operation, click Cancel.
6. To run the job now, from the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter, on the Monitor > Job Queue tab, click Inventory History > Hosts Inventory.
