The scan information of the vendors for devices such as backup and floppy devices is usually unavailable on the workstation. Also, if the information is available, the vendor information does not usually contain the details. You can customize and update information about the vendors of these devices in the Hardware Rules file. The scanners read this file during the hardware scanning process for these devices.
The contents of the Hardware Rules file (ZIPPNAMES.INI) is as follows:
[Identifier]
device_id=vendor_display_name_you_specify
[Floppy]
device_id=vendor_display_name_you_specify
where device_id is the unique ID generated and updated in the registry by the vendor during the installation of the device on the workstation.
For example, the contents of the file are as follows:
[Identifier]
IOMEGA ZIP 100 D.13=Iomega Corporation
This entry is for a 100 MB Zip* drive installed on the workstation.
[Floppy]
MITBISHI LS-120 F200 08=MITBISHI
This entry is for a LS-120 floppy drive installed on the workstation.
To customize and update the vendor information for display:
Open the ZIPPNAMES.INI file in a text editor.
This text file is located in \PUBLIC\ZENWORKS directory on the inventory server.
Add or modify the entries in this file.
If you specify incorrect values for the device ID entry, the device will not be displayed in the Inventory windows.
Save the changes.
