Can I track my hardware assets via OEM?

User12613373-OracleJul 8 2013 — edited Jul 9 2013

Is there a way for OEM to track hardware assets?  I'm not talking about "host" targets, but the actual, underlying, hardware.

We currently use our own custom solution to track hardware, saving serial numbers, locations, etc.  We can then monitor these assets so if, say, a DIMM goes bad, we know which asset that DIMM is associated with and can go to the exact room, rack, and shelf to find that asset and perform maintenance.  I know OEM has a free-form "Location" field but it's free-form and the information only lasts as long as the host target's life does.  If you want to repurpose the system, the OEM target goes away and you'd have to reinstall the agent and manually re-enter all of the old location information, etc. 


It would be nice if OEM could just store a hardware asset "target" or something.  Does something like that exist?
