Unmanaged and unsupported HPE BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure

Unmanaged enclosures

An unmanaged enclosure is one that is not currently managed or monitored by HPE OneView.

Firmware that does not meet the minimum requirements can cause an enclosure to be unmanaged.

Firmware that does not meet the minimum requirements can cause an enclosure to be unmanaged. To bring the enclosure under management update the firmware.

Unsupported enclosures

An unsupported enclosure cannot be managed by HPE OneView. However, you can place unsupported enclosures in racks. Adding unsupported enclosures to HPE OneView enables you to account for the physical space the enclosure occupies in a rack for planning and inventory purposes.

HPE OneView displays basic information about unsupported enclosures, such as the model name, HPE BladeSystem Onboard Administrator name, and the number of Onboard Administrator in the enclosure.

You can specify the maximum power for the unsupported enclosure, which allows you to define its power capacity and enables HPE OneView to generate alerts when maximum capacity is reached.
