FAQ

Q. Is the same script does the upgrade and auditing both?

A. Yes, if the script ran without passing the arguments, it will perform the auditing and store the data to the Table - pvl_dellcommand_audit. And for upgrade, it is required to pass the arguments, in that case no auditing will be done.

Q. Does the monitor created only performs the auditing automation?

A. Yes
