    You can view detailed information about a specific device by clicking the Managed devices panel title from the Device management view, and then click the name of the device in the table to display the device details page. The device details page includes device-specific todos, component status, usage metrics, system information, and actions that you can take on the device. From this page, you can drill down to see jobs, events and alerts, firmware, and hardware inventory.
  • Collections
    A collection is a static group of devices that can be monitored and together. A device can belong to one or more collections. Each collection can have up to 400 devices.
  • Remote sever access
    A device administrator can remotely connect a specific managed device through the Lenovo XClarity One portal, allowing seamless interaction with management controller from any locations while upholding data security protocols.
  • Power operations
    You can use Lenovo XClarity One to perform power operations on your managed devices.
  • Device configuration
    You can use Lenovo XClarity One to quickly setup and maintain your device configurations by deploying firmware, device settings, and operating system to your managed devices using templates. XClarity One uses the templates that are assigned to each managed device to ensure that those devices maintain a consistent configuration. When devices are out of compliance, their health status changes to Critical. You can use the deployment templates to bring the devices back into compliance.
  • Vulnerabilities
    Firmware updates often have fixes for common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs). You monitor the which managed devices have firmware updates that fix these vulnerabilities.
  • Warranties
    Warranty information is retrieved from the Lenovo Support portal weekly for devices that have warranties and daily for devices that do not have warranties.
  • Call Home contacts
    When Call Home is configured and a serviceable event is triggered that automatically creates a service ticket, Lenovo Support might need to reach out to someone regarding the event. The primary or secondary contact that is configured for Call Home is contacted by default. However, you can choose to assign a different Call Home contact to all devices in a specific collection.
  • Device service data
    If Call Home is enabled and a serviceable event occurs on a managed device, Lenovo XClarity One automatically collects XCC service data and sends that data to Lenovo support using Call Home. When other problems arise with a device that requires assistance to resolve, you can manually collect service data that is needed to help identify the cause of the issue (including service information, inventory, and logs) and then send the service-data file to your Lenovo Support representative.
  • Service tickets
    If Call Home is configured, when a serviceable event occurs on a specific device (such as such as an unrecoverable memory), Lenovo XClarity One automatically opens a service ticket with Lenovo Support, collects service-data files for the managed device, sends that data to Lenovo Support using Call Home, and attaches the collected data to the ticket.
