deploying, and then abort the remaining component updates.
Node inventory
The node inventory collects information about the node, and the firmware, software, and driver
versions installed on the node.
NOTE: HP SUM cannot inventory a node if the credentials are not valid. If the credentials are
not valid for the node, edit the node credentials. For more information, see “Editing a node” (page
28) .
NOTE: If you perform inventory on an OA node, HP SUM automatically adds and inventories
the associated nodes if you select the check box on the Add Nodes screen. Add VC credentials
separately. If you perform inventory on other nodes, HP SUM does not find an associated OA until
the end of the inventory process. Add credentials to the OA and then perform inventory on the OA
node.
