The node inventory collects information about the node, and the firmware, software, and driver versions installed on the node.

[Note]

NOTE: HP SUM cannot inventory a node if the credentials are not valid. If the credentials are not valid for the node, edit the node credentials. For more information, see Editing a node.

To inventory a node:

[Note]

NOTE: If you perform inventory on an OA node, HP SUM automatically adds and inventories the associated nodes if you select the check box on the Add Nodes screen. You need to add VC credentials separately. If you perform inventory on other nodes, HP SUM does not find an associated OA until the end of the inventory process. You need to add credentials to the OA and then perform inventory on the OA node.
