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:

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

•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.
