HAM: Trustworthy Data Flashcards
Finds applications and devices on your network, and then updates the CMDB with the information it finds.
Discovery
Process of reorganizing data in a database so that there are no inconsistencies in data, no redundancy of data, and all related items are stored together.
Normalization
A type of asset (e.g., hardware or consumable); identifies common data attributes.
Model
A grouping of similar types of assets (e.g., Computers; provides the link between configuration management and asset management).
Model Category
A unique identifier for our model record; equates to the manufacturer part number of a given asset configuration that the manufacturer is providing in the marketplace.
Model Number
Identifies the level of normalization match based on Manufacturer, Model Name, and Model number.
Normalization Status
Manual update of hardware and/or consumable model data.
Manual Normalization
Hardware, software, consumables, and data that needs to be financially tracked.
IT Asset
Configuration item that may or may not be an asset; managed from an operational perspective.
Configuration Item (CI)
Primarily a data repository, used to store information describing configuration items (CIs).
CMDB
What allow you to maintain common characteristics in a single location?
Model Records
T | F: A model can only be in one model category.
False
A model can be in ONE OR MORE model categories.
How many asset states are there?
Eight
What state?
The asset has been ordered but has not yet been received.
On order
What state?
The asset is in a stockroom; its Substate indicates whether an in-stock asset is available to be deployed or not.
In stock
What state?
The asset is being transferred from one location to another (e.g., between stockrooms).
In transit
What state?
A non-consumable asset is being used; the asset is typically managed as a configuration item in this state.
In use
What state?
A consumable is being used.
Consumed
What state?
The asset is being maintained.
In maintenance
What state?
Indicates end-of-life; only asset records created erroneously should be deleted.
Retired
What state?
The asset cannot be located after the appropriate level of investigation has been performed.
Missing
T | F: The Display name for the Asset is automatically generated as a combination of the Asset tag and the Model.
True
What is defined as: a single model comprised of individual models (for example, a laptop, printer, keyboard, and mouse)?
A bundled model
T | F: Assigning a single asset from a bundle does not assign all the components of the bundle to the specified user.
False
Assigning a single asset from a bundle DOES assign all the components of the bundle to the specified user.
What type of bundle permits use of one model in multiple bundles?
Abstract
What type of bundle is fixed where the main component is an asset?
Concrete
T | F: Bundles can be nested within other bundles.
True
