Inventory Boot

Re-create the inventory table of the server.

During inventory boot the system BIOS assembles the inventory infor-
mation of the server blade or PRIMERGY rack server hardware as need-
ed by the Virtual-IO Manager and sends it to the management blade or to
iRMC, where it is stored.

In some cases a manual execution of the inventory boot is necessary in
order to support the new functionality:

l

For support of new functionality a new version of the inventory table
might be needed. Example: Converged network adapter card (CNA)

l

In some cases the new version of the inventory table might not be
created automatically for the server. Example: The new version of
the inventory table is only supported by a new version of the system
BIOS.

You must execute the inventory boot manually, after applying a new
version of the system BIOS and iRMC firmware or a new version of
the firmware of the optional hardware.
