What this certification covers

This page is structured for quick scanning first: exam format, fit, prep time, and the actual study scope.

ServiceNow CIS-HAM(Hardware Asset Management)验证在 ServiceNow 上实施硬件资产全生命周期管理的能力。60 题 / 90 分钟,及格线 70%(42 题),费用 $250 USD,需先持有 CSA(Certified System Administrator)。

HAM 和 CMDB 的核心区别必须理解清楚:CMDB 的 CI 关注"这台服务器跑什么服务、和什么系统有依赖关系",HAM 的 Asset 关注"这台服务器花了多少钱买的、放在哪个机房、什么时候合同到期、折旧剩余价值多少"。一台服务器同时是 CI 和 Asset,用 ci_id 关联。

考试的核心知识点是资产状态机:On Order → In Stock → In Use → In Maintenance → Retired → Disposed。每个状态转换的触发条件(比如 In Stock → In Use 需要 Assign to 字段非空)和必填字段是高频考点。

ServiceNow HAM 在澳洲的需求集中在大型企业的 IT 资产管理数字化项目。Telstra、CBA、BHP 等企业管理数万台硬件资产,需要 ServiceNow HAM 实现从采购到报废的全链路追踪。

CIS-HAM 持证者的角色通常是 ServiceNow 实施顾问(合作伙伴公司如 Accenture、DXC、Fujitsu)或企业内部的 ITAM 团队成员。日薪合同制 $700-1000 AUD。

不适合的人群:做 ITSM(Incident/Change/Problem)方向的 ServiceNow 顾问 — 你应该考 CIS-ITSM。做软件资产管理(SAM)的人 — HAM 和 SAM 是两个不同的模块。

Step-by-step preparation

A concrete week-by-week plan from past test-takers — not generic advice.

1

第一阶段:资产生命周期状态机(2 周)

在 PDI(Personal Developer Instance,免费申请)上创建硬件资产,手动走一遍完整生命周期:创建 PO(Purchase Order)→ 接收(Receiving)→ 入库(In Stock)→ 分配给用户(In Use)→ 回收(In Stock)→ 报废(Retired)→ 处置(Disposed)。记住每个状态转换的触发条件和必填字段。

2

第二阶段:库房 + 采购 + 模型(2 周)

Stockroom 类型(Primary/Repair/Storage)的区别和配置。Transfer Order(跨库房转移)流程。Hardware Model 和 Model Category 的关系。采购流程:Purchase Order → Receiving Slip → 自动创建 Asset Record(根据 Auto-create Rules)。折旧计算方法(Straight-line 直线法 vs Double-declining 双倍余额递减法)。

3

第三阶段:集成 + 盘点 + 模考(2 周)

HAM 与 Discovery 集成(Discovery 自动发现硬件并更新 Asset 记录)。Physical Audit(资产盘点)流程和差异处理。ITSM 集成(Incident 关联到受影响 Asset)。用 ServiceNow Mainline 文档 + Now Learning CIS-HAM 学习路径备考,做 2 次模考。

Real test-taker experiences

What it actually took for real candidates to pass — prep time, scores, and lessons learned.

资产状态流转题考了接近 10 道 — "资产从 In Use 状态变成什么状态才能报废?"(必须先到 Retired 再到 Disposed,不能直接跳)。折旧计算出了 2 道需要手算的题,建议记住直线法公式。

PDI 上的练习非常重要 — 很多功能不上手操作根本记不住。Transfer Order 那块考了 3 道,我之前只看文档没练,差点翻车。

Study tips and common mistakes

💡

60 题 90 分钟,1.5 分钟/题,节奏偏紧。状态机题快速判断,不要纠结。

💡

折旧题如果给了具体数字就要手算 — 直线法:(成本 - 残值) / 使用年限 = 年折旧额。

💡

PDI 是最好的学习工具,ServiceNow 官网免费申请,所有 HAM 功能都可以实操。

⚠️

**资产状态不能随意跳转** — 比如不能从 In Use 直接变成 Disposed,必须经过 Retired 状态。考试经常问"哪个状态转换是无效的"。

⚠️

**Hardware Model 和 Asset 的关系** — Model 是模板(如 "Dell Latitude 5530"),Asset 是实例(一台具体的笔记本)。创建 Asset 时必须关联 Model,Model Category 决定了 Asset 的 CI Class。

⚠️

**Stockroom 类型混用** — Primary 是主仓(新设备入库),Repair 是维修仓(故障设备),Storage 是长期存储仓。Transfer Order 的 From/To Stockroom 必须匹配业务场景。
