= Computer Info =

OpenGnSys allow us manage hardware and software information about our computers: hardware devices, operating systems and installed applications.

The management of hardware and software practically is the same, so that details about first.

== Hardware ==

This information is saved in tab '''Hardware''', we find: 
 * '''Hardware Types''': established the classification of devices: graphics cards, memory, ...
 * '''Hardware Components''': devices trademark and model found in our computers
 * '''Hardware Profiles''': devices associated with each type of computer.

== Hardware Profiles ==

=== Create a Hardware Profile ===

The Console Admin carry out a hardware inventory of the computers. In this inventory we have the devices features and it saves in a hardware profile with the computer name.

From the console we access to '''tab classrooms''', right-click on a computer, click on '''[wiki:GuiaOperaciones/en#Listadodecomandos "command hardware inventory" ]'''. We do not ask any information, only click.

=== Manage of Hardware Profiles ===

The console allow us execute some tasks on hardware profile: 
 * Look up info
 * Look up properties
 * Manage components
 * Create without information
 * Group
 * Delete

==== Consult Profile Information ==== #informacion

In '''tab hardware''' on selected profile right-click on "'''Profile Info'''"

We can see: 
 * Hardware Component
 * Computers with this profile
 * Compatible Images

The last section informs which images have been created from a computer with a hardware profile. Normally, images created with a particular hardware can be compatible with others, when restore we can choose any.

==== Consult Profile Properties ====

It shows the name and profile comments and allow us to modify it.  

[[Image(perfil_hardware_propiedades.png)]]

==== Manage components ====

It allows new components not listed in the inventary and delete exiting ones.

==== New Hardware Profile  ====

It allows create a profile without initial information.

==== Group Hardware Profile  ====

The console organizes on a hierarchical mode hardware profiles, creating groups of profiles and moving profiles across groups.

__Create a New Group__

[[Image(perfil_hardware_nuevo_grupo.png)]]

__ Move Profile across Groups__

First of all, right.click on hardware profile and click on "'''move profile'''", then go to group of profile where we want to placed it and click on "'''Place Profile'''"

==== Delete a Profile ====

[[Image(perfil_hardware_eliminar.png)]]

== Hardware Types ==

It shows the sorting devices: memory, graphics cards, ...

[[Image(tipos_hardware.png)]]

=== Properties of Hardware Types ===

We can see and modify the name and icon of a hardware type.

[[Image(tipos_hardware_propiedades.png)]]

== Hardware Components ==

We can see trademark and devices model of our computers. 
[[Image(componentes_hardware.png)]]

=== Management of Hardware Components ===

We can define new components or modify the name or type existing.

==== Define New Componentes ====

[[Image(componente_hardware_definir.png)]]

==== Modify Components ====

== Software ==

Management software is the same as the hardware and so only different characteristic comment. 

=== Relation Image - Software Profile ===

Every image has associated a software profile that informs us of its content.

To define the image we associate with a software profile.

At the time of creating the image will generate an inventory of software that will modify the existing content. The old profile may have been created with the command "Software Inventory" or directly defined from the console.

=== Relation Software Profile - Hardware Profile ===

Although it not shown in the console, software profile are associated to hardware profile of the computer they were created. 

Indirectly, this also makes the images are related to hardware profiles, as seen as in [wiki:Inventarios/en#informacion Hardware Profiles].
