Excerpts from Nick Coghlan's message of 2014-07-21 13:19 +10:00:
I thought I had filed an RFE for this somewhere along the line, but
apparently not...
Currently, hardware scans are requested via the "--inventory" option to
the "machine-test" subcommand. This is a little(!) obscure for a feature
that powers the entire inventory search capability.
What do folks the think of the idea of adding a dedicated
"update-inventory" subcommand such that "bkr update-inventory" was
the
equivalent of "bkr machine-test --inventory --ignore-system-status"?
Good idea.
