Follow these steps:
Modify the asset file, ASSET.INI. For more information, see Asset File Format .
Run the scans on the workstations.
Verify that the inventory information is in eDirectory Minimal Information and the Workstation Summary window.
The asset file, ASSET.INI contains the following three sections:
Each section contains the particular DMI Class name and DMI Class Attribute ID. These three classes contain the Asset Information in DMI.
The format of the ASSET.INI file is as follows:
[SERIALNUMBER]
DMI1_CLASSNAME=DMI_class_pathname_for_serial_number
DMI1_ATTRIBUTEID=DMI_attribute_ID_for_serial_number
[ASSETTAG]
DMI1_CLASSNAME=DMI_class_pathname_for_asset_tag
DMI1_ATTRIBUTEID=DMI_attribute_ID_for_asset_tag
[MODEL]
DMI1_CLASSNAME=DMI_class_pathname_for_computer_model
DMI1_ATTRIBUTEID=DMI_attribute_ID_for_computer_model
The SerialNumber and Model values can have string lengths of maximum 64 characters. The Assettag value can have string length of maximum 256 characters.
A DMI Class name can be any DMI class other than DMTF|COMPONENTID|00x.
If there is more than one DMI vendor implementing different custom DMI classes, you can specify multiple DMI classes. A maximum of five classes can be specified in these sections.
A sample ASSET.INI file configuration is as follows:
[SERIALNUMBER]
DMI1_CLASSNAME=IBMPSG|Serial Number Information|001
DMI1_ATTRIBUTEID=9
DMI2_CLASSNAME=IntelG|Serial Number Information|002
DMI2_ATTRIBUTEID=8
[ASSETTAG]
DMI1_CLASSNAME=Novell|AssetInformation|001
DMI1_ATTRIBUTEID=2
DMI2_CLASSNAME=IntelG|Asset Information|001
DMI2_ATTRIBUTEID=3
[MODEL]
DMI1_CLASSNAME=Novell|SystemModel|001
DMI1_ATTRIBUTEID=2
DMI2_CLASSNAME=IntelG|SystemModel|002
DMI2_ATTRIBUTEID=4
[COMPUTERTYPE]DMI1_CLASSNAME=Novell|ComputerType|001DMI1_ATTRIBUTEID=1
[MODELNUMBER]DMI1_CLASSNAME=Novell|ComputerModelNumber|001DMI1_ATTRIBUTEID=1
