Server hardware types resource associations

A server hardware type captures details about the physical configuration of server hardware, and defines which settings are available to the server profiles assigned to that type of server hardware. For example, the server hardware type for the HPE ProLiant BL460c Gen8 Server Blade includes a complete set of default BIOS settings for that server hardware configuration.

When you add an enclosure to HPE OneView, HPE OneView detects the servers installed in the enclosure and creates a server hardware type for each unique server configuration it discovers. When you add a unique rack mount server model, HPE OneView creates a new server hardware type for that server configuration.
