Using the repair option in the installer
If you accidentally delete any of the policies from the SPI for Dell Devices policy group or from the Policy
Inventory of the management server, use the Repair option in the Dell SPI installer to reinstall the policies.
The Repair option installs the missing Dell SPI policies and automatically deploys the policies on the management server, when the Auto Deploy option is selected. Before you use the Repair option, ensure that you remove or undeploy all the Dell SPI policies from the HPOM management server node on the
HPOM console.
NOTE: If you modify any of the policies and then delete them, the Repair option installs only the original version of the policies. You must modify them again as per the requirements. The repair option resets the values of the SNMP, WSMAN, DWSURL, DCLM Webservice URL and Warranty
Report URL parameters to the default values only if the Retain Dell SPI configuration was not checked during the installation steps. You must set the values of the parameters again.
Additionally, if any of the files are missing or corrupted, the Repair option replaces the file.
Repairing the Dell SPI program features using Windows Control Panel ensures that your existing Dell SPI configuration settings are retained on the HP Management system.
NOTE: It is recommended that you close the HPOM console before you begin the repair process.
