Updating metadata for the Cisco HCS Provider

You must set the basic infrastructure (metadata) for the Cisco HCS Provider to function correctly.The metadata includes specifying the chassis, cluster type, reserved core details for the compute resources and RAID group, and SAN details for the storage resources. This topic describes how to update the compute and storage resource details after you have onboarded them.

• • To update the compute resource inventory
  • To update the storage resource inventory
  • To delete metadata entries

To update the compute resource inventory

1. Log on to the BMC Remedy IT Service Management Console, and click Cisco Hosted Collaboration Solution > Compute Resource Inventory, as shown in the following figure:
   
   
2. In the Compute Resources Inventory window, click Search, as shown in the following figure:
   
   
   This action displays the compute resource inventory details of the Cisco HCS Provider, as shown in the following figure:
   
   

3. Enter the following information for each compute resource: 

   UI label	Value	Description
   Chassis	Example: CH1	Specifies the chassis detail where the compute resource will be placed
   Cluster Type	NOS or OS	Specifies the cluster type of the compute resource
   Reserved Core	Default value: 0	Specified the number of core to be reserved for the compute resource during the placement

   Warning

   Note

   The Virtual Cluster, Virtual Host, and Virtual Entity Manager details are already defined when you onboard the compute resource.

4. Click Save.

   This action sets the metadata for the compute resource placement for the Cisco HCS Provider.

To update the storage resource inventory

1. Log on to the BMC Remedy IT Service Management Console, and click Cisco Hosted Collaboration Solution > Storage Resource Inventory, as shown in the following figure:
   
2. In the Storage Resource Inventory window, click Search, as shown in the following figure:
   
   
   This action displays the storage resource inventory details of the Cisco HCS Provider, as shown in the following figure:
   

3. Enter the following information for each storage resource:
    

   UI label	Value	Description
   Raid Group	Example: RG2	Specifies the RAID group detail where the storage resource will be placed
   SAN	Example: SG2	Specifies the SAN detail of the storage resource

   Warning

   Note

   The Data Store, Virtual Entity Manager, and Virtual Cluster details are already defined when you onboard the storage resource.

4. Click Save.
   This action sets the metadata for the storage resource placement for the Cisco HCS Provider.

To delete metadata entries

BMC recommends that you not delete the metadata entries (storage resource inventory or compute resource inventory entries) from the UI. Instead, offboard the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management resources. If you cannot avoid deleting metadata entries, use the following procedure.

1. Log on to the BMC Remedy IT Service Management Console, and click Cisco Hosted Collaboration Solution > Storage Resource Inventory, as shown in the following figure:
   
2. In the Storage Resource Inventory window, click Search, as shown in the following figure:
   
   
   This action displays the storage resource inventory details of the Cisco HCS Provider, as shown in the following figure:
   
3. Click Delete.
   This action deletes the metadata entry of the storage resource for the Cisco HCS Provider.
