Adding demo hub and devices

When you set up your organization, you can choose to include a demo (simulated) hub and devices in XClarity One by enabling the Use demo hub and devices toggle on the Organization management view. When enabled, 1 simulated hub and 10 simulated devices are added to your organization.

If you disable the Use demo hub and devices toggle, the simulated hub and devices are removed from the organization. You can add them back at any time by re-enabling the toggle.

The demo hub and devices allow you to explore and test XClarity One features and functionality. Most device operations start and complete jobs without having any real effect on the device, with the following exceptions.

  • You can unmanage the demo hub and devices just like any other hub or devices. Unmanaging the demo hub automatically disables the toggle and removes the demo hub and devices from the organization. Unmanaging a demo device removes only that device from the organization. Note that demo devices cannot be discovered or managed. To restore them, disable and then re-enable the toggle.

  • You can add demo devices to collections.

  • You can monitor demo devices, such as viewing the alerts, events and jobs history.

  • You can assign templates to demo devices.

  • Things to do are raised for demo devices.

Note
  • Performing a firmware update on a demo device does not change the displayed firmware version.

  • The following functions are not supported by demo devices.
    • Learning device settings
    • Remotely accessing the demo device
    • Service functions, such as collecting service data, uploading service data to Lenovo Support, and creating a service ticket.
