Streamlined process for bringing hardware under management

HPE OneView simplifies the process of bringing the enclosures, interconnects, and server hardware under management.

• For example, when you add an enclosure, the appliance automatically detects all of the hardware seated in the enclosure and brings it under management. In addition, the appliance performs the following actions:

  • Updates the enclosure Onboard Administrator, Virtual Connect interconnect modules, and server iLO firmware to the minimum version required (if a firmware bundle is uploaded to the appliance).

  • Configures each Virtual Connect interconnect module, removing the existing VC configuration.

  • Configures the Onboard Administrator, which includes configuring NTP (Network Time Protocol) and configuring an SSO (single sign-on) certificate for UI access.

  • Configures each server iLO, which includes configuring an SSO certificate for UI access.

  • Configures the hardware for monitoring, which includes configuring SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) traps.

• When you add an HPE Intelligent Power Distribution Unit (iPDU) power device, the appliance automatically detects and presents the connected devices so that you can bring the devices under management.
