OCS (Open Computer and Software Inventory Next) is a free software that enables users to inventory their IT assets. It collects information about the hardware and software of networked machines running the OCS client program ("OCS Inventory Agent"). Agents are also able to scan their own subnets to further discover other devices which might not run the agent (such as printers) via “IpDiscover”. The inventory is accessed and visualised via a web interface running on the OCS Inventory server.
The current installation of OCS in CAHSS is managed locally by the CAHSS Digital Team and is on a centrally supported VM. The current installation needs to be upgraded. In order to support the upgrade, a TEST environment needs to be created. This requires a new VM to be created and OCS installed before the upgrade can be applied to TEST and then deployed to the LIVE installation.
