ome device inventory missing

[ImranJMughal]

So I cant remediate config compliance once a new server has been added to OME

My process is: -

Discover (ome_discovery) add to device group (ome_device_group) remdiate via (ome_configuration_compliance_baseline)

The problem is that the server configuration collection has happened so the server in OME is at an unknown state.

If I manually do an inventory job (collect configuration inventory and collect driver inventory) it can be remediated

How can I kick off a inventory collection prior to config check and remediation?

See the newly added device with a question mark against it

Ok so it seems i can only do a config inventory on the device group according to the API? Which module can I use for this?

@ImranJMughal There is no module for this as of now.

• But once the job is run in UI. You can rerun the job using uri module REST API /api/JobService/Actions/JobService.RunJobs

• To get the JobIds use ome_job_info module

[ImranJMughal]

Any idea of when you can implement it? It means we cant update new servers as they have unknown config and driver inv.

@ImranJMughal Currently we dont have this in the pipeline. Will discuss with team and let you know

@ImranJMughal, I have just added an ansible role ome_device_inventory to run the inventory task for a Device ID or a Device Service Tag or a OME group name. Could you please try it out and let me know whether it works for you or not?

• Run inventory task for a server device using device ID

    - name: "Refresh inventory for a server using ID {{ device_id }}"
      include_role:
        name: ome_device_inventory
      vars:
        ome_hostname: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
        ome_username: "{{ user }}"
        ome_password: "{{ password }}"
        device_id: 12345

• Run inventory task for a server device using service tag

    - name: "Refresh inventory for a server using service tag {{ device_service_tag }}"
      include_role:
        name: ome_device_inventory
      vars:
        ome_hostname: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
        ome_username: "{{ user }}"
        ome_password: "{{ password }}"
        device_service_tag: "123ABCD"

• Run inventory task for a static or a query group using group name

    - name: "Refresh inventory for group {{ ome_group_name }}"
      include_role:
        name: ome_device_inventory
      vars:
        ome_hostname: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
        ome_username: "{{ user }}"
        ome_password: "{{ password }}"
        ome_group_name: "OME-Static-Group-A"

Hi @anupamaloke - Work well thanks

[anupamaloke]

A new module ome_devices has been added using which you can:

• Refresh inventory for a device or a list of devices in OME
• Reset iDRAC for a device or a list of devices in OME
• Clear iDRAC job queue for a device or a list of devices in OME
