Process
Description Task Resource
•
You must create a logical interconnect group before you can create an
enclosure group.
•
You add uplink sets as part of creating a logical interconnect group.
Ensure that at least one of the uplink sets you add includes an uplink
port to the data center networks you want to access.
•
For more information about logical interconnect groups, see “Managing
interconnects, logical interconnects, and logical interconnect groups”
(page 121)
, the online help for the Logical Interconnect Groups screen,
or the REST API scripting help for logical interconnect groups.
1. Create a logical
interconnect group. Logical

Groups
• You must create a logical interconnect group before you can create an
enclosure group. You cannot create an enclosure group that does not
specify a logical interconnect group.
•
For more information about enclosure groups, see “Managing enclosures
and enclosure groups” (page 131) , the online help for the Enclosure
Groups screen, or the REST API scripting help for enclosure groups.
2. Create an enclosure
group. Enclosure
Groups
• When you add the enclosure, specify the enclosure group you created.
•
When you add an enclosure, you also must select a firmware baseline
and a licensing option.
•
For more information about enclosures, see “Managing enclosures and
enclosure groups” (page 131) , the online help for the Enclosures screen,
or the REST API scripting help for enclosures.
3. Add the enclosure. Enclosures
For a server blade to connect to a data center network, it must have a server
profile assigned to it, and that server profile must include a connection to
either the network or a network set that includes the network:
• If there is an existing server profile that matches how you want the server
hardware configured, you can copy that server profile and assign it to
the server hardware.
•
Otherwise, you must create or copy and modify a server profile that
includes at least one connection to the network or a network set that
contains the network.
•
Server profiles contain much more configuration information than the
connections to networks. For more information about server profiles, see
“Managing servers and server profiles” (page 111) , the online help for
the Server Profiles screen, or the REST API scripting help for server
profiles.
4. Do one of the
following:
• Create a server
profile and assign
it to the server
hardware.
• Copy a server
profile and assign
it to the server
hardware, then
edit the server
profile as
necessary.
5. Power on the server
hardware.

11.4 Scenario 3: Defining network connectivity as you add the enclosure
In this scenario, you configure the logical interconnect group, including its uplink sets, and the
enclosure group during the enclosure add operation. The appliance detects the interconnects
installed in the enclosure and prompts you to create a logical interconnect group and enclosure
group based on the hardware in the enclosure.
For a step-by-step illustrated example of this scenario, see “Configuring a server blade to boot
from the attached HP 3PAR Storage System” (page 256) .
Prerequisites
•
Minimum required privileges: Infrastructure administrator or Server administrator.
•
All data center switch ports that connect to the VC (Virtual Connect) interconnect modules are
configured as described in
“Data center switch port requirements” (page 115) .
