Enclosures resource associations
An enclosure is a physical structure with device bays supporting server, networking, and storage building blocks. These building blocks share the enclosure's common power, cooling, and management infrastructure.
The enclosure provides the hardware connections between the interconnect downlinks and the installed servers. The enclosure interconnects provide the physical uplinks to the data center networks.
When you add an enclosure to be managed, HPE OneView discovers and adds all of the components within the enclosure, including servers and interconnects installed within the enclosure.
A logical enclosure is associated with an enclosure group which describes how the physical enclosure is connected to the networks and SAN. An enclosure is associated with an enclosure group through the logical enclosure.
