A.5.11 Adding enclosure 2

Adding an enclosure brings the rack, the enclosure, and the enclosure's contents—server hardware
and interconnects—under managed control. You add an enclosure by providing its IP address or
host name, along with the enclosure's Onboard Administrator credentials. In this procedure, you
will also establish a firmware baseline for the enclosure.

NOTE:

The name associated with the enclosure is the enclosure name, which is set in the Onboard

Administrator, and is not the name of the Onboard Administrator.

In this procedure you will add one enclosure:

Description

Attribute

198.51.100.253

Enclosure 2 primary Onboard Administrator IP
address

User name

OAAdmin

Password

S&leP@ssw0rd

Onboard Administrator credentials (same for both
enclosures)

1.

From the

main menu

, select Enclosures and click Add enclosure.

The Add Enclosure dialog box opens.

2.

Enter the following information:

For OA IP address or host name, enter the primary Onboard Administrator IP address for
enclosure 1.

For User name and Password, enter the Onboard Administrator credentials in the
preceding table. These credentials establish a trust relationship between the appliance
and the Onboard Administrator.

For Enclosure group, select EncGrp2.

For Licensing, select OneView to apply both a OneView and a permanent iLO Advanced
license to the servers in the enclosure. The appliance applies this licensing policy only to
enclosures and servers that do not have factory-embedded licenses.

For Firmware baseline, select the firmware bundle that you added in

“Downloading the

latest firmware bundle and adding it to the appliance” (page 281)
