What are the baseline asset lifecycle automation flows provided by the Hardware Asset Management (HAM) plugin? (Choose three.)
The Hardware Asset Management (HAM) plugin is a plugin that enables the Hardware Asset Management application, which helps to track and manage the end-to-end lifecycle of hardware assets, physical and consumable1.
The HAM plugin provides the following baseline asset lifecycle automation flows2:
Hardware asset order: This is a flow that automates the process of ordering new hardware assets from a vendor.It creates purchase orders, stock order tasks, and catalog tasks based on the asset requests and the stock rules2.
Hardware deployment: This is a flow that automates the process of delivering and installing hardware assets to the end users.It creates catalog tasks and updates the asset records and the configuration management database (CMDB) based on the stock order tasks and the asset reservations2.
Hardware disposal: This is a flow that automates the process of disposing of retired hardware assets through a vendor.It creates return merchandise authorization (RMA) records and updates the asset records and the CMDB based on the asset retirements and the vendor contracts2.
Therefore, the baseline asset lifecycle automation flows that are also options in the question are A. Hardware asset order, E. Hardware deployment, and F. Hardware disposal.
The other options that are not baseline asset lifecycle automation flows provided by the HAM plugin are:
B .Hardware bulk stock order: This is not a baseline asset lifecycle automation flow, but a manual action that allows the user to create multiple stock order tasks for different hardware models at once3.
C .Hardware swap order: This is not a baseline asset lifecycle automation flow, but a manual action that allows the user to swap a hardware asset with another hardware asset of the same model4.
D . Hardware retire order: This is not a baseline asset lifecycle automation flow, but a manual action that allows the user to retire a hardware asset and update its status and substatus.References:
