Server Management › Managing Server Components › Refresh Components by Server

Refresh Components by Server

The Refresh Components option obtains the most current server component data.

Note: The basic state of a component does not change as a result of a refresh operation—an Inventoried component remains an Inventoried component and a Managed component remains a Managed component. The state of a component changes only as a result of the Management Profile directing components to be managed or as a result of server-related discovery of a component.

To refresh components on a server

1. Click the Management link.

   The Management panel appears.

2. Click the Servers tab.

   The Servers tab page appears.

3. Click the name of the server on which you want refresh a component in the Server table.

   The selected server's Server Details page appears and displays the Server tab.

4. Click the Components tab.

   The Components table appears.

5. Click the check box next to the components you want to refresh, then select the Refresh Components option from the Select Actions drop-down list.

   The Current Activity column in the Components table displays Component Refresh in Progress, during the refresh operation. The Refresh Date/Time column displays the current date when the operation is complete.
