For general information about hardware configurations and options for a specific device, see the Lenovo Server Proven webpage.

  • Device discovery and management
    Lenovo XClarity One can manage supported devices that were discovered by XClarity Management Hub 2.0.
  • Device health summaries
    You can view a summary of the current health of all devices in your organization by clicking Overview in the context menu from the Device management view. By default, only the overall health is displayed. Click and hold the Managed devices title to show additional summaries.
  • Management functions
    Lenovo XClarity One leverages management hubs to perform management functions on managed devices. You can control whether to allow XClarity One and XClarity Management Hub 2.0 to perform management function on your devices. If all management functions are disabled, XClarity One only monitors your devices and is not permitted to make changes to your devices.
  • Usage metrics and trends
    You can monitor usage metrics for 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. Usage metrics are graphically displayed on the Usage panel.
  • Device details
    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 access to management controllers
    A device administrator can remotely connect to the baseboard-management controller web interface for a specific managed device from 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.
  • Templates
    Lenovo XClarity One makes it easy to deploy bare-metal servers and to maintain the firmware on your managed servers using templates. Templates consist of a set of rules and criteria that define the desired configuration for a certain type of server and identifies which managed servers are monitored for compliance. If a server is out of compliance, you can use the templates to update the server to match the desired profile.
  • Firmware
    You can use Lenovo XClarity One to maintain firmware on your managed devices. You can use the health summaries to identify the firmware health of your devices, view the firmware status to know what firmware versions are available for each device, and update the desired firmware version on target devices.
  • Warranties
    You can determine the warranty status of the managed devices from the Lenovo Support website.
  • 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.
  • Service data
    When there is a problem 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 Lenovo Support.
  • Service tickets
    You can monitor service-ticket metrics by clicking Monitor in the context menu from the Device management view.
