Dell recommends that IT groups schedule a server/storage/network inventory job at least once a week. The Dell Management plug-in for VMware vCenter's inventory task has minimal impact on virtual machine performance. The Inventory is:

• Non-invasive to your datacenter's individual host performance
• Scheduled to run during a datacenter's non-peak hours
• Logged, so that potential problems surface in the recorded logs immediately.
• Vital to accurately deploying new servers and virtual machines.

• Inventory Job Scheduling
• Job Queue
• Inventory Jobs
