Viewing the XClarity Orchestrator inventories

You can view related list of inventories, such as fans, power supplies, switches, nodes, storage, and chassis.

Note

If an inventory item is unmanaged in Lenovo XClarity Orchestrator, the changed inventory is updated in ServiceNow when the next scheduler runs or when the inventory is manually imported again. When an inventory item is in the unmanaged state in XClarity Orchestrator, the Is Obsolete field is set to true for that inventory item.
