Unmanaged devices resource associations

An unmanaged device is a physical resource that is located in a rack or consumes power but is not currently managed by HPE OneView. Some unmanaged devices are unsupported devices that cannot be managed by HPE OneView.

All devices connected to an Intelligent Power Distribution Unit (iPDU) using an Intelligent Power Discovery (IPD) connection are added to HPE OneView as unmanaged devices.

Other devices that do not support IPD—such as KVM switches, routers, in-rack monitors and keyboards—are not added to the list of unmanaged devices automatically. To include these devices in HPE OneView, you can add them manually and describe their names, rack positions, and power requirements.
