Inventory limitations

The limitations listed in this section are specific to the inventory application.

Users with LDAP authentication (for example, LXCA account) could not collect IPMI logs (for example, IPMI event logs and system settings).
Users could use XCC local account to collect IPMI logs.
No Mellanox adapters raw data in inventory result since OneCLI V2.9.0
Users can download the Mellanox utility to generate raw data from: https://www.mellanox.com/downloads/MFT/WinMFT_x64_4_14_0_105.exe.
The value of DIMM serial number shown by OneCLI is inconsistent with the serial number shown by the BMC Web application (Retain tip 95884)
The DIMM serial number shown by OneCLI is not in the same byte order as the serial number shown by the BMC. For example, the DIMM serial number displays as 441B13BD on the BMC Web page, which corresponds to the 4 byte sequence 44 1B 13 BD, while in OneCLI the DIMM serial number is displayed as BD131B44, with a byte sequence of BD 13 1B 44.
OneCLI shows the volumes' layout and status unknown on windows 2012 series OS
OneCLI shows the volume layout and status as unknown for Windows 2012 series operating systems when the partition type is static. This is because logical disk management (LDM) is deprecated in favor of Storage Spaces for Windows 8 and Windows 2012. When OneCLI attempts to read LDM data from the Windows operating system for these properties, OneCLI shows an unknown status for these two properties of a static disk.
Cache Enable information might be inaccurate
Information about Level 1, 2, 3 Cache Enable might be inaccurate
Common tables with instances from multiple data sources may have blank fields
If there is no data for a particular field, the field is blank. This situation is most often encountered in common tables containing instances from multiple data sources.
Dates fall outside the valid date range for XClarity Essentials OneCLI
When XClarity Essentials OneCLI collects dates and times that are before January 1, 1970, 00:00:00, or after January 19, 2038, 03:14:07, XClarity Essentials OneCLI reports these dates and times as January 1, 1970, 00:00:00. These dates fall outside the valid date range for XClarity Essentials OneCLI.
Extended collection times
If users encounter extended collection times, it might be helpful to disconnect external devices temporarily. For example, unplug fiber cables or additional USB devices where information about these devices is not essential to the data collection.
Intel Ethernet controller is displayed as Not Available
The description about the Intel Ethernet controller is displayed as Not Available on the Network Settings page under RHEL6.
Memory speed reported as Unknown in the Memory section of the Hardware Information report
XClarity Essentials OneCLI might report the memory speed as Unknown in the Memory section of the Hardware Information report, which is caused by the issues with SMBIOS support on some systems.
OneCLI is displayed as Unknown in the item PartitionSubType
OneCLI is displayed as Unknown in the item PartitionSubType in the Disk Information table on the Hardware Inventory page when the HDD is in the GUID Partition Table (GPT) format on UEFI systems.
QLogic utility limitation
Due to a QLogic utility limitation for QLogic 8 Gb FC Dual-port HBA, Option 42D0510, the QLogic information about the Hardware Inventory page is not collected on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Update 2 (RHEL 6.2).
XClarity Essentials OneCLI displays the manufacturer of a SATA hard disk as ATA in the Physical Drive Information table
When an LSI RAID controller connects with a SATA hard disk, XClarity Essentials OneCLI displays the manufacturer of the hard disk as ATA in the Physical Drive Information table.
XClarity Essentials OneCLI shows incorrect core numbers for System x3850 X5 dual node configuration
On System x3850 X5 dual node configuration, XClarity Essentials OneCLI shows incorrect core numbers (always show one core) for processors on the second node (CPU5-8).
Upload through a proxy server on Windows shall meet some specific system configuration requirements
On a Windows operating system when trying to run the upload command or getinfor command with the --upload option through a proxy server by specifying --proxy option, turn off check for server certificate revocation (requires restart) from the Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Security menu.
OneCLI does not show slot number for some PCI devices sometimes on Linux Operating systems
Route information in network settings, and video controllers and video heads in hardware inventory are absent on SLES 15.
The Init Configuration item is blank in inventory logs on SLES 12 and SLES 15.
OneCLI shows Xorg core dump when running inventory on some Red Hat 7 operating systems.
When OneCLI collects the graphics information, the core dump of some earlier versions of Xorg might be displayed. Users can fix this problem by upgrading Xorg.
The VMware Privilege Logs item is gray in HTML log on VMWare ESXi 6.7.
The VMware_Privilege item has been removed from the root/cimv2 namespace of VMware, so there is no information on VMware privilege logs.
The "Other Devices" item is not displayed on OneCLI on Red Hat 6/7/8.
OneCLI displays the information on other devices through the file /etc/sysconfig/hwconf. This file has been removed from Red Hat 6, so the Other Device item is not displayed on OneCLI on Red Hat 6/7/8.
Some items are unreadable in Chassis Event Log on OneCLI inventory report
The CIM client used by OneCLI for collecting the data does not support UTF-8. Therefore, the message on the Chassis Event Log page may be unreadable.
