Interconnects are an integral part of an enclosure, and each interconnect is a member of a logical
interconnect. Each logical interconnect is associated with a logical interconnect group, which is
associated with an enclosure group. For more information about logical interconnects, see
“About
logical interconnects” (page 145) . For information about the relationship that enclosures and enclosure
groups have with interconnects, logical interconnects, and logical interconnect groups, see
“Understanding the resource model” (page 31) .
You can update interconnect firmware using an SPP (Service Pack for ProLiant).
Connectivity and synchronization with the appliance
The appliance monitors the health status of interconnects and issues alerts when there is a change
in status of an interconnect or port. The appliance maintains the configuration that you specify on
the interconnects that it manages.
The appliance also monitors the connectivity status of interconnects. If the appliance loses
connectivity with an interconnect, an alert is displayed until connectivity is restored. The appliance
attempts to resolve connectivity issues and clear the alert. If it cannot, you have to resolve the issues
and manually refresh the interconnect to synchronize it with the appliance.
You can manually refresh the connection between the appliance and an interconnect from the
Interconnects screen. See the online help for the Interconnects screen to learn more.
About unsupported interconnects
Unsupported hardware is hardware that the appliance cannot manage. If the appliance detects
an interconnect that it does not expect or cannot manage, it assigns the interconnect a critical
health status and displays an alert with a resolution of replacing the interconnect with a model it
can manage. The appliance displays the model name of the unsupported interconnect that it obtains
from the OA (Onboard Administrator).
If the unsupported interconnect is in an unmanaged bay, the appliance places it into an inventory
state and creates a resource for it, but does not bring it under management.
NOTE: If you try to create a server profile that has a connection to an unsupported interconnect,
the operation will fail.

19.2 Managing logical interconnects and logical interconnect groups
A logical interconnect represents the available networks, uplink sets, and stacking links for a set
of physical interconnects in a single enclosure. The Logical Interconnects screen provides a graphical
view of the logical interconnect configuration in an enclosure. Use this screen or the REST APIs to
manage the uplink sets for the logical interconnect.
When you add an enclosure, a logical interconnect is created automatically. The logical interconnect
group serves as a template to ensure the consistent configuration of all of its logical interconnects.
