Active Servers
The Active Servers page displays a list of active servers which are currently consuming from your IT Asset Management license.
This page displays the following columns (listed alphabetically). Some columns are displayed by default and others can be displayed through the column chooser. To manage columns and other UI options, see the topics under Managing Columns in a Table.
Field | Description |
---|---|
Chassis type |
The chassis type for an inventory device, as reported by the inventory process. This value cannot be edited, however you may override it with the Assigned chassis type setting. |
Computer name |
The machine name of the inventory device that is consuming from your IT Asset Management license. Editable in the Name field in the General tab of the inventory device properties (for manually-created records). |
Manufacturer |
The manufacturer of the inventory device.
Tip: If the device
is a virtual machine (such as Linux KVM), this column may display the publisher
of the software that is running the VM.
Editable in the General tab of the inventory device properties (for manually-created records). |
Model number |
The manufacturer’s model name or number for this device. Editable in the Model field in the General tab of the inventory device properties (for manually-created records). If the value is gathered from inventory, it cannot be edited, but it can be overridden by entering a new value in the Overridden field in General tab of the inventory device properties. The original value continues to display on the General tab, alongside the overridden value, and may be restored at any time. |
Operating system |
The operating system running on this device.
Tip: This
value may be blank because the device is a VM host that is hardware frame that may not be
running its own operating system. In this case, the computer Name
field is set to a serial number associated with the hardware (because, without an
operating system, there is no host name). In fact, no inventory of any kind is possible
without an operating system, so IT Asset Management synthesizes the VM host
record from common data reported by its guest VMs. The virtual machines in these cases may
typically be partitions like:
