About monitored enclosures

You can add enclosures to inventory and monitor the hardware. Monitoring is useful when you have enclosures that have already been deployed and you cannot migrate them into HPE OneView. Certain types of enclosures can only be monitored such as:
  • Enclosures with G6 ProLiant server blades

  • HPE Integrity Superdome X enclosures

Monitoring hardware in enclosures can be done with a free HPE OneView Standard license.

NOTE:

If the firmware for any part of a c7000 enclosure does not meet the supported minimum, the enclosure will be added in an Unmanaged state. To resolve this issue, update the firmware manually (outside of HPE OneView) and then refresh the enclosure.

If the OA firmware for a Superdome X enclosure does not meet the supported minimum, the add enclosure fails. To resolve this issue, update the firmware manually (outside of HPE OneView) and then re-add the enclosure for monitoring.

Move a c7000 enclosure from monitored to managed

Once an enclosure is monitored in HPE OneView, if you decide to change from monitored to managed, you must remove the enclosure from HPE OneView and then migrate or add it back as a managed enclosure, obtaining the appropriate license. Migration keeps the configuration settings, whereas add does not migrate the configuration.
