An example Solaris Server pattern extension section for correcting the hardware ManufacturerSummaryThere is a known restriction in Solaris Server discovery, than means the server Manufacturer field in the CI is populated as "Sun Microsystems" or "Oracle Corporation", even though the hardware might actually be something else, such as Hewlett-Packard. For example, for a HP ProLiant server output from prtconf: System Configuration: Oracle Corporation i86pcoutput from prtdiag | head: System Configuration: HP ProLiant DL580 Gen8 This issue was reported as PRB1382826, and fixed since Paris release for the Model ID field which now has a fallback step that uses the output from prtdiag. But we have no reliable way to fix the Manufacturer, so that remains as whatever prtconf returns. The difficulty is that Sun, now Oracle, do also make their own hardware, so in the case of e.g. "Sun-Fire-V445", hardware Manufacturer is truly "Oracle Corporation", the output from prtdiag is correct. We can't be sure the first word or words in the model name are the manufacture. However, you can add an extension section to the pattern to detect specific manufactuer's models, once you already know your manufacturer, and the model values you see, and add steps that can parse the true manufacturer from the model value.InstructionsThe attached update set "KB1282426/PRB1382826 Solaris Hardware Make/Model" sys_remote_update_set_f77268e88725615011200e58cebb3572.xml contains an extension section for the Solaris Server pattern named "Manufacturer fallback for HP" The first 3 steps are copes from the Solaris Model pattern library Run hardware script fileFailover for ModelIDGet manufacturer The last 2 steps are specifically for model ids that start with HP, where the main pattern wrongly set the manufacturer as oracle or Sun. This sets Manufacturer to the normal value "Hewlett-Packard" used by Normalization Data Services content. Update manufacturer Oracle as HPUpdate manufacturer Sun as HP If you have hardware from other manufacturers you could easily copy those last 2 steps and modify them for the text you expect to see in the model id field.
