Cisco UCS Central: Manual Refresh of Inventory.

We recently had an issue where the power state of several B-Class servers did not match within the server and the service profile view.

The Server view correctly had the power state as Power On.  However, the service profile associated with this server incorrectly showed the Status as Power Off.  There was definitely a disconnect.  Shutting down and powering on the server did not resolve the issue.

To resolve this issue, ssh in the Cisco UCS Central VM:

Once logged in enter the folowing:
connect resource-mgr
scope domain-mgmt
show ucs-domain detail

The last command will give you the ID of the system you would like to perform the refresh on:

Confirm that you are scope'd in on the correct domain by running the following;
scope ucs-domain xxxx
show detail

Once you have confirmed you are in the correct domain, run:
refresh-inventory
commit-buffer

The Commit-buffer command commits the transaction.

 Cisco UCS Central is now syn'd up from Central down to the servers.
