- From the left-side menu, click Inventory. The Inventory page displays with Compute selected by default.
- Click the check box for the device that you want to edit.
- Click the Actions drop-down list and select Edit Device.

Table 31. Compute node name and location fields Field Description Device ID User-defined, descriptive ID. This field accepts any character. Data Center Name of the data center where device is located. Room Room where device is located. Aisle Aisle Identifier, if applicable. Rack Rack identifier. Hostname Hostname for a device. Once the OS is installed, this field is disabled. Note: Location information is stored on the device and in Bare Metal Orchestrator.
- Select or clear the Enable Metrics check box to turn server statistics collection on or off. .CAUTION: If the server BMC does not have a Datacenter license and Enable Metrics is selected, the server goes into the Failed state. This occurs because telemetry is only supported for BMCs with a Datacenter license. To resolve the failure, you must clear Enable Metrics, save the change, and then select Reinitialize Server in the Actions drop-down list.
- Click Save to confirm updates.
