About Inventory for Network Devices

Inventory for Network Devices gathers inventory data from discovered devices

in your network. This inventory is gathered from the devices that are not managed

through the Altiris Agent. Because a management agent is not required, this

inventory is considered an agentless inventory.

Agentless inventory gathers inventory on the devices that are already discovered

and exist as resources in the Symantec Management Platform's Configuration

Management Database (CMDB). Generally, you use agentless inventory to gather

inventory on the devices that are discovered using the Network Discovery

component of the Symantec Management Platform.

This inventory is performed by running agentless inventory tasks on discovered

devices and reporting the data to the Notification Server. The discovery data is

stored in the CMDB. You configure the automated tasks that are scheduled to run

at regular intervals to keep your inventory data current.

You can gather inventory on the following types of devices:

■Cluster

■Computer

Chapter

■Computer: Virtual machine

■Infrastructure device

■IP Phone

■KVM device

■Network attached storage

■Network backup device

■Network printer

■Out-of-band management device

■Out-of-band management device: Chassis management controller

Currently, agentless inventory gathers inventory only on SNMP-enabled devices.

You can determine the type of inventory that is gathered through SNMP data

mapping tables. Agentless inventory collects data from the SNMP-enabled network

devices that are based on SNMP data mapping tables. The tables identify the data

fields you want to collect and then applies the settings to selected device types.

See “Gathering agentless inventory”on page 16.

See “About SNMP data mapping”on page 25.

Components of Inventory for Network Devices

Inventory for Network Devices runs on the Symantec Management Platform and

uses the components of the platform.

See “About Inventory for Network Devices”on page 9.

Inventory for Network Devices also includes the following components:
