3. Hardware Profile Updates — To schedule a hardware profile refresh, go to a system list under
the Systems category, click on the name of the system, click the Hardware tab of the System
Details page, and click the Schedule Hardware Refresh button.
4. Package List Profile Updates — To schedule a package list profile refresh, go to a system list
under the Systems category, click on the name of the system, click the Packages tab of the
