Unmanaged and unsupported interconnects

Unmanaged interconnects

If you create a logical enclosure in which the interconnects installed in the enclosure do not match the associated logical interconnect group, each interconnect reports its state as unmanaged. An interconnect can be the expected type, but if the firmware is out of date it is listed as unmanaged. The physical interconnect configuration in the enclosure must match the logical interconnect group associated with the logical enclosure before an interconnect can be managed.

HPE OneView allows you to monitor unmanaged interconnects and perform common actions such as power on, power off, or reset, as well as turn the UID light on or off. You can also assign an IP address for the enclosure group or use DHCP, and assign a Fibre Channel license for use with uplink ports.

For interconnects not directly managed by HPE OneView, some support an embedded management interface. When available, you can launch that management console using the link provided.

NOTE:

When using the system console, accessing an interconnect’s remote management interface is not supported. The interconnect’s management URL will be displayed as text, and not as a link. If required, you can access the interconnect’s serial (command line) interface when on the console.

Unsupported interconnects

Unsupported hardware is hardware that the appliance cannot manage.

If you create a logical enclosure in which the interconnects installed in the enclosure do not match anything that is supported, each interconnect reports its state as unsupported.
