Introduction

	NOTE: Starting from version 2.59, FIST software has been renamed as UniSystem.

 

UniSystem supports inspecting servers and exporting inspection reports in PDF and XLSX formats. The reports contain server overview, CPU, memory, PCIe, NIC, power, fan, storage, health status, BIOS, serial number, device model, asset tag, and firmware version. Additionally, the reports include the macro distribution of devices by health status, product model, firmware version, processor core count, and memory size for user convenience.

Prerequisites

Procedures and information in the document might be slightly different depending on the software or hardware version of the device.

The configuration examples were created and verified in a lab environment, and all the devices were started with the factory default configuration. When you are working on a live network, make sure you understand the potential impact of every command on your network.

The following information is provided based on the assumption that you have basic knowledge of UniSystem server configuration templates.

Example: Configuring UniSystem server inspection

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 1, deploy UniSystem as both the UniSystem server and client on a PC. Connect the Ethernet port of the PC and two servers to a switch in the same LAN, and configure IP addresses to ensure communication between UniSystem and the servers. Configure UniSystem to inspect the two servers and export inspection reports.

Verifying the configuration

1.     On UniSystem, in the navigation pane, select Menu > Monitor > Reports.

2.     Click the Server Inventory tab.

You can view the server inventory list. For the R4900 G6, the version of the primary HDM image is 1.12 and the BIOS version is 6.00.03. For the R5300 G3, the version of the primary HDM image is 3.32 and the BIOS version is 2.00.63P10.

3.     View information of the exported inspection report. The version of the primary HDM image and the BIOS version are the same as those on the UniSystem Web interface.

4.     On UniSystem, in the navigation pane, select Menu > Devices > Server List. Then, click the IP address of a server to enter HDM for that server.
