NOTE:

HP does not recommend using iLO or the OA to make changes to a device. Making

changes to a device from its iLO or OA could cause it to become out of synchronization with the
appliance.

You can manually refresh the connection between the appliance and an enclosure from the
Enclosures screen. Refreshing an enclosure will refresh all devices in it. See the online help for the
Enclosures screen to learn more.

17.5 About enclosure groups

An enclosure group is a logical resource that defines a set of enclosures that use the same
configuration for network connectivity. The network connectivity for an enclosure group is defined
by the logical interconnect group associated with the enclosure group. This ensures that each
enclosure has an identically configured logical interconnect and the same configuration for network
connectivity.

17.6 Effects of managing an enclosure

When an enclosure is being managed by the appliance, the following enclosure settings are in
effect:

A management account is created.

SNMP is enabled and the appliance is added as an SNMP trap destination.

NTP (Network Time Protocol) is enabled and the appliance becomes the NTP time source.

The NTP default polling interval is set to 8 hours.

An appliance certificate is installed to enable single sign-on operations.

Enclosure firmware management is disabled.

The OA firmware is updated to minimum firmware levels, listed in the HP OneView Support
Matrix
.

The server hardware iLO time zone is set to Atlantic/Reykjavik as recommended in the
iLO documentation.

The time zone setting determines how the server hardware iLO adjusts UTC (Coordinated
Universal Time) time to obtain the local time, and how it adjusts for daylight saving time
(summer time). For the entries in the iLO event log and IML to display the correct local time,
you must specify the time zone in which the server is located.

If you want iLO to use the time provided by the NTP server, without adjustment, configure the
iLO to use a time zone that does not apply an adjustment to UTC time. In addition, that time
zone must not apply a daylight saving time (summer time) adjustment.

There are several time zones that meet this requirement. One example is the
Atlantic/Reykjavik

time zone. This time zone is neither east nor west of the prime

meridian and time does not change in the spring or fall.
